Karl Mannheim was born in Budapest, studied at the universities of Budapest, Berlin, Paris and Freiburg.
Mannheim also stressed the levelling effects of educational experience: he did not confront the possibility that cultural participation itself, while 'loosening up' the established class structure and distancing intellectuals from their economic class moorings, may coagulate into new forms of cultural property which engender new class-like interests and novel forms of social closure and inequality.
Mannheim envisaged a new type of party system 'in which the right to criticize is as strongly developed as the duty to be responsible for the whole', with which would go a new form of education and a new sociologically informed morality.

Karl Mannheim's Conservatism is the first significant implementation of the methodology which he called "the sociology of knowledge".
Mannheim himself was aware of this, and emphasized that for that, one needed to look at concrete historical examples.
The result is the perceptible duality that permeates the book: at times Mannheim speaks of conservative thought or German conservatism in general; at other times he speaks of specific German thinkers, the peculiarities of their systems of thought, and how these related to their social positions.

Mannheim, one of the most important figures in the modern sociology of knowledge, came out of Nazi Germany to England in the early 30s.
Later Mannheim became Professor of Education at the Institute of Education of the University of London, but apparently they did not delve into more encompassing sociological ideas there so that he was rather isolated in that position.
Shils said that Mannheim ultimately desired "a large following and beyond that a larger public," and that he "wanted to be a great intellectual figure on the level of Kant." He even became somewhat paranoid that other notable scholars were conspiring against his ideas.

 Tracing Formative Influences on Event Recall: A Test of Mannheim's Sensitivity Hypothesis - Questia Online Library   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Evidence is presented in support of Karl Mannheim's theory that people are more sensitive to events that occur during their formative years than to those that occur later in the life course.
Although in 1928 Karl Mannheim (1952) offered a still plausible explanation for the development of generations, his writings are only occasionally cited in quantitative studies of generational processes (e.g., Wuthnow 1976).
Here one specific aspect of Mannheim's theory of generations is tested, namely his contention that people are more sensitive to social phenomena that occur during their formative years.
