Ideology Second Edition David McLellan |
|
|
A comprehensive introduction to this important concept. To study ideology is to ask such questions as: Where do our ideas about society and politics come from? Are such ideas socially determined? If so, what validity can they claim? In this brief yet comprehensive introduction, David McLellan looks at the origins of the concept of ideology, analyzes its use in the Marxist and non-Marxist traditions, and assesses the various uses to which it has been put in recent social and political theory, particularly the connection between ideology and the "end of history" debate. Revised and updated, this second edition is for all those who are interested in a clear presentation of the most basic concept in the philosophy of the social sciences. David McLellan is professor of political theory at the University of Kent. He has been Visiting Professor at the State University of New York and Guest Fellow in Politics at the Indian Institute of Advanced Study in Simla. 120 pages | 5 1/4 x 8 1/2 | 1995 Copublished with Open University Press |
