SOCIOLOGIJA ZNANJA IZMEĐU IDEOLOGIJE I IDEJA: MANHAJMOVA I ŠELEROVA KONCEPCIJA SOCIOLOGIJE ZNANJA.

In this paper, the author seeks to distinguish the influence that Karl Manheim and Max Scheler had on the development of the sociology of knowledge. As undoubtedly dominant, Manheim's influence left more prominent mark on the identity of the sociology of knowledge. However, Scheler's contribution to the framing of the sociology of knowledge was not negligible. At the moment when the birth of the sociology of knowledge was exposed to various forms of criticism, from classical philosophical epistemology to sociology and sociologists themselves, Scheler did offer, within the framework of traditional phenomenology, a different way of development of the young sociological discipline. Less as an articulated and consistent theory and more as an alternative collection of views on links between the society, ideas, and knowledge, Scheler's sociology of knowledge today may serve as a corrective in attempts to restore the sociology of knowledge.
