In these crooked times of chaotic and contradictory discourses in
every social sphere, from politics to food production, "ideology"
has become the buzzword to represent some solid structure on which
to cling or under which to recoil, in an effort to understand
reality. But how this structure is built and what it ultimately
upholds - this is a primary focus of the Human Sciences. In this
book, the author argues that in the Human Sciences, from its
founders to contemporaries, a common premise is apparent: the
fundamental property of all human-social reality is its character
as something constructed. Through a vast set of analyses and
reflections of his own, and by philosophers, psychologists,
psychoanalysts, sociologists, anthropologists, neuroscientists and
linguists, the author shows how this premise, applied, which he
coins as critical constructionist theory, constitutes the
fundamental theory of the Human Sciences. The book also traces how
the main development of this theory gave rise to critical
deconstructionism - philosophical, sociological, and
anthropological - as an analytical procedure in contemporary
studies and research, valid in discussions on culture, ethics,
human rights, gender, sexuality and ethnicities. Understanding the
role ideology plays in this construction, then, is key to
liberation from oppressive conceptual structures of reality. This
book exposes that role.
