Karl Mannheim is a Hungarian-German sociologist and one of the leading figures in the sociology of knowledge during thirty decades of the twentieth century thirty centuries and at the same time with the rise of the National Socialist Party. He sees democracy not only as a political phenomenon but also as a prelude to the spread of democratic culture, as well as a consequence of a kind of social turmoil resulting from the displacement of classes and civic values replacing the traditional values of the bourgeois aristocracy. In this work, Mannheim tries to describe the process of transformation in sociological but abstract language. In general, it can be said that Mannheim, by focusing on the discussion of culture, has tried to show what factors hinder the realization of democracy in societies in transition and finally has offered solutions in this regard.

Immanuel Kant written by Lucien Goldman is one of the most important books published during the 20th century. I explicate its various important aspects concentrating on its reproducing theme which is humanity, society, and their relationship with the universe within Kant’s philosophical thought. The relation of humans, society, and the universe is the most productive problem of modern philosophy; according to Goldman’s book, for Kant it is the most productive problem too. Goldman delineates how the relation of human, bourgeois society and the universe is the most focal point in Kant's philosophy, which has been pervaded throughout the chapters of the book, and I clarify it as well as Kant’s own account of the foregoing problem. Consequently, I recapitulate how most of the following philosophies are differentiated from this problem in addition to the next particular problems during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
