K. Mannheim distinguishes between two types of ideologies. Which are these two ideologies ?
Answer: A
Mannheim distinguished the total conception and the partial conception of ideology.
In Ideology and Utopia (1929) Karl Mannheim described the partial conception as one in which we doubt particular ideas of an opponent as more or less conscious disguises of his interests. The total conception goes further and treats the whole outlook of an age or a social group, its very categories of thought, as shaped by its social position.
Democratic and authoritarian, egalitarian and non-egalitarian, and radical and conservative are classifications of political systems or attitudes, not Mannheim's two types of ideology.
