About the Book
The concept of ideology is a cornerstone of social science, yet its definition remains elusive. This book by Professor David McLellan offers a concise yet comprehensive exploration of the concept, addressing questions such as: Where do our ideas about society and politics originate? Are these ideas socially determined? And if so, what validity can they claim?
The text delves into the origins of the ideology concept and critically examines its role within the Marxist and non-Marxist traditions. McLellan assesses how ideology is used in contemporary social and political theory, especially in relation to debates about the ‘end of history’. This second edition has been revised and updated, with a new chapter on “Ideology and the ‘End of History’”.
The book provides an accessible yet profound introduction to one of the most important concepts in the philosophy of social sciences, making it an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of ideology in contemporary thought.
