Karl Mannheim and Conservatism: The Ancestry of Historical Thinking
基于曼海姆1925年关于保守主义的教授资格论文全文，揭示其经验研究与哲学兴趣的互动，采用韦伯式社会学方法将激进历史哲学与保守思想联系起来，但搁置对二者整合的判断。
The recently discovered full text of Karl Mannheim's Habilitationsschrift on conservatism documents the interaction between his empirical and philosophical interests. While his philosophical interests at the time of writing (1925) centered on philosophy of history as ground for substantive social theory, following the methodological lead of Luk6cs, Conservatism is Weberian in its theoretical design. Mannheim employs the empirical approach of the new academic sociology to establish findings which link a politically radical philosophy of history to conservative thought while suspending his own judgment concerning an adequate integration between them. Although he indicates that Hegel's conception of theory anticipates the synthesis required, he finds that this conception presupposes metaphysical or sociological premises he cannot accept. He nevertheless also distances himself from the disillusioned realism of Weber, and leaves open the project offinding a functional equivalent for Hegel's metaphysics or Lukacs' Marxist economist.
