Abstract

BOOK REVIEWS " 215 Lukacs could be difficult, and in any event he was only vaguely sympathetic with so- cialism. In 1923, he moved to Germany to study with Ferdinand Tonnies and Hans Freyer at the University of Kiel. From there, he followed Freyer, with whom he forged a lifelong friendship, to Leipzig, where he earned his doctorate in 1928. His Habili- tationsschrift on public opinion remains his most important contribution to sociological theory. Always intrigued by the influence the intended audience exerted on musical composition, he there examined the important ways in which ever expanding audi- ences shaped and reshaped the propaganda of those seeking to win over public opinion at large. At Freyer's urging, Manheim withdrew his application for Habilitation after the Na- zis seized power, and in 1934 he took his wife (and once settled, his son) to England, where he assisted his cousin Karl and earned a doctorate in anthropology under the direction of Bronislaw Malinowski. It was the great Polish scholar who taught him the importance of understanding others. "Understanding," he insists, "is the solution to the majority of human problems" (113).
