Inhaltsangabe

First published in 1980, this book presents a study of knowledge and the patterns of social and scientific thought. Keith Dixon argues that traditional and contemporary formulations of the sociology of knowledge involve a series of fallacies, and the claim to reduce knowledge to ideology devalues the role of reasoned inquiry. Chapters discuss such areas as the theories of Marx and Mannheim, the sociology of science, and religious belief. With a detailed conclusion analysing the foundations and limits of the sociology of knowledge, this reissue will provide an interesting and useful analysis to students of Sociology.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Keith Dixon was born in Yorkshire and grew up in the Midlands. Two-time winner of the Chanticleer Reviews CLUE First in Category award for Private Eye/Noir novel, he's the author of ten full-length books and one short-story in the Sam Dyke Investigations series. For his sins, he now lives in France. Here's what some people have said about the first two novels in the series: I MAY KILL YOU This is a well written thriller that holds the reader's attention throughout, keeps you guessing and frantically turning the pages. It's an enthralling blend of thriller and police procedural with an added pinch of laugh out loud humour. The tension and intensity build as the story unfolds culminating in a chilling, breath taking finale. Nicki's Life of Crime OMG. He just keeps getting better. This book had me gripped from the very beginning. Loved the plot. Hope this is not just a one off. Would love to read more Ben Buckland. Lesley Jayne KILLING THE INVISIBLE With Watts, Dixon is onto something fun, fast, fresh, and engaging as hell ... The big news with Killing the Invisible is you won't be able to take your eyes off DI Watts. What a fabulous character creation this new DI is. We need more Watts, Mr. Dixon. A lot more! Rich Leder Killing the Invisible is terrific read--a compelling mystery wrapped in a literate character study. DI Walter Watts is unique and yet also classic, a grumpy, intelligent, sharp-tongued cop who is funny and complex. Lila Havens
