Document Summary
Ideology is one of the most elusive concepts in social sciences: variety of theoretical approaches with different meaning & functions. It is heavily charged with political connotations and widely used in everyday life: a set of ideas, beliefs and values, which reflect or shapes understanding or misconceptions of the social and political world. Ideology could be held consciously or unconsciously: two approaches on ideology and ideological thinking, subjective: it is a deformation of consciousness, unable to grasp reality as it is, objective: it is a deception induced by reality itself.
