A gift purchased at the P.S. Bookshop in Dumbo. I don't think I'll read this, I'll be too busy ogling the cover or reading the notes in the margins. I didn't realize how much I wanted to see a U with an enormous plume, or the word vulgar jotted in the margins, even if I always feel indicted when anyone uses that word.Mannheim, one of the German intellectuals who fled the Nazis, wrote this in 1937.

Love it. Great point about the absolutism.
I love that too. To acrobatic perception!
Crazed underlines drive me crazy. I think the Germans have a word for it: kopftschlossmackenverruct.
Mannheim essentially defined the notion of ideology for the modern academic. A classic copy of a classic text.
Well then you may have convinced me to read beyond the underlines. As someone exiled from Nazi Germany I imagine his ideas about ideology have special flint.
