![]() In December 1933, Ernest Manheim and his wife moved to London. Their son followed in 1935. Here, from 1934 until 1937, Manheim continued his studies in sociology and anthropology at the University of London and at the London School of Economics and Political Science. In July 1937, he earned his Ph.D. (in Anthropology) with a dissertation on "Security, authority, and society: an ethnological introduction into sociology" advised by Morris Ginsberg (1889-1970), Bronislaw Kaspar Malinowski (1884-1942) and his cousin Karl Mannheim (i.e. Károly Mannheim; 1893-1947).
From 1935 until 1937, Ernest Manheim worked as an assistant to Karl Mannheim at the London School of Economics and at the Institute of Sociology of the University of London.
In London, Manheim also wrote a 337-page typescript on the "History of the Authoritarian Family", an inquiry which he undertook at the invitation of the German political economist and sociologist, Friedrich Pollock (1894-1970), for the Frankfurter Institut für Sozialforschung [Frankfurt Institute of Social Research]; the original typescript is lost, yet in 1936, a schematic abstract titled "Beiträge zu einer Geschichte der autoritären Familie" [Contributions to a History of the Authoritarian Family] appeared in Paris.. |
