The study of ideology has traditionally been concerned not only
with political ideas and doctrines, but also with the ways in which
social relations are sustained through the representation of
institutions and events. These traditional concerns have been
transformed in recent years by investigations into the nature of
language and its role in social life. Exploring the links between
language and ideology has become one of the most pressing tasks of
social and political analysis. In this volume John B. Thompson
examines some of the outstanding contemporary contributions to the
study of ideology. He focuses primarily on European social
theorists and philosophers, providing concise and critical
appraisals of their work. In addition to asessing the contributions
of well-known thinkers, such as Jurgen Habermas and Paul Ricoeur,
Thompson introduces the reader to a rich variety of authors who
habe been neglected in the English-speaking world: Cornelius
Castoriadis, Claude Lefort, Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Pecheux, Jean
Pierre Faye. This work of these authors ia analyzed with a
constructive aim: through a sympathetic assessment of their views,
Thompson formulates the elements of a novel account of ideology. By
addressing substantive and methodological issues as well as
abstract questions of justification and critique, this account
seeks to integrate sociological and philosophical considerations in
a unified framework for the analysis of ideology. Studies in the
Theory of Ideology will be essential reading for anyone intersted
in the most important developments in European philosophy and
modern social thought. This title is part of UC Press's Voices
Revived program, which commemorates University of California
Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and
give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to
1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship
accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title
was originally published in 1984.
