Ideology critique generally seeks to undermine selected theories
and beliefs by demonstrating their partisan origins and their
insidious social functions. This approach rightly reveals the
socially implicated nature of much purported knowledge, but also
brackets or bypasses its cognitive properties. In contrast, Michael
Morris argues that it is possible to integrate the social and
epistemic dimensions of belief in a way that preserves the
cognitive and adjudicatory capacities of reason, while
acknowledging that reason itself is inevitably social, historical,
and interested. Drawing upon insights from Hegel, Lukacs, Mannheim,
and Habermas, he interprets and reconstructs Marx's critique of
ideology as a positive theory of knowledge, one that reconciles the
inherently interested and inextricably situated nature of thought
with more traditional conceptions of rational adjudication,
normativity, and truth. His wide-ranging examination of the social
and epistemic dimensions of ideology will interest readers in
political philosophy and political theory.
