Over its long history, the concept of ideology has acquired a vast
and at times incommensurable roster of meanings: positive and
negative, analytic and critical, philosophical, psychological and
scientific. But how precisely should we understand and study
ideology today? What is its connection to key issues in social life
and social research, such as capitalism and class, democracy and
partisanship, nationality, sex and gender, race and ethnicity? In
this book, Marius S. Ostrowski navigates a path through the complex
maze of ideology's rival interpretations, tracing the shifting
fortunes of ideology analysis from its classical origins to its
recent renaissance. The result is a concise interdisciplinary
overview of how ideologies combine and arrange ideas and how they
manifest in our psychology and behaviour. Drawing on a wide array
of examples from across the world, the book outlines the historical
preconditions that allowed modern ideologies to emerge and
illuminates how we experience ideology's influence in our
day-to-day lives. Ideology will be an indispensable resource for
students and scholars across the social sciences and anyone seeking
to understand the way ideology shapes how we understand the world
around us.
