This work, by one of Europe's foremost social theorists, presents a
critical history of the concept of ideology. The author's
discussion ranges from the early conceptions of ideology to its
current usage in the works of Barthes, Foucault, Habermas and
others. Boudon develops a distinctive and original approach to the
analysis of ideology. Drawing on a series of case studies, he seeks
to explain how and why social actors adhere so readily to false or
dubious ideas. In opposition to those views which associate
ideology with irrationalism, Boudon develops a rationalist theory
which helps to explain why certain ideas are believed by
individuals and are thereby effective in the social world.
Rigorously argued and clearly written, this work is a major
restatement of Boudon's theoretical views and a timely intervention
in current debates. It will be of particular interest to students
of sociology, politics and philosophy.
