Mannheim "Diagnosis of Our Time", which shows the causes and essence of the spiritual crisis of capitalism and substantiates the possibility of choosing an alternative path for the development of a planned democracy society based on the conscious use of social technologies and new value preferences.

Manheim was carried out for the first time. The article is educational in nature. The results of the research can be applied in the educational process and in the development of social policy
