"To begin the discussion of this topic. The presupposition of the sociology of knowledge comes from the public interpretation. We may realize that between this process of self-enlightenment, which is commensurate with the present time and the sociology of knowledge there is a specific affinity for the sociology of knowledge. Conceived into question, relativizes, particularises and transcends. This book contains ten chapters. In contemporary discussions the extending independency chains between nations have been variously referred to as the global human circumstance. It is a common place that an important point of departure for the sociological pioneers of the last century and the early years of this century was to insist that economic had to be understood sociologically."
