Notes
Ours has been called “the age of ideology.” It might more accurately be termed the age of ideologies—
plural, not singular—because we live in a world of contrasting and competing ideologies. The high degree
of ideological conflict, combined with the ever-increasing sophistication and destructive potential of
technology, makes a potent and potentially explosive combination. This combination helps to explain the
ferocity of political conflicts—civil wars, wars of national liberation, and revolutions—in the twentieth
century. If we are to understand this world and to survive in it, we need to appreciate not only the
awesome power of technology but also the power of political ideas and ideologies.
As the word ideology implies, the term originally referred to the systematic study of the origins or sources
of our ideas. This eighteenth-century notion of ideology did not survive into the nineteenth century. An
ideology came to mean a set of ideas that was somehow suspect, and quite probably false. The term
ideology still retains this meaning for many of us. As we will use the term in this course, however,
ideology has no pejorative or unfavorable connotations.
By ideology we refer to a systematically interrelated set of ideas with four characteristics: explanatory,
evaluative, orientative, and programmatic. An ideology, that is, (1) purports to explain political
phenomena; (2) offers a basis for evaluating actions, practices, and policies; (3) orients its adherents to
the sociopolitical world, giving them a sense of identity and purpose; and (4) provides a program of
political action.
Virtually everyone has a political ideology of some sort; otherwise he or she would remain relatively
disoriented, would be unable to account for puzzling political and social phenomena, lack a basis for
moral and political evaluation, and be unsure of what he or she should be doing, and with (or to) whom he
or she should be doing it.
Different ideologies, of course, fulfill the four functions in quite different ways. Each supplies its
adherents with quite different explanations, standards of evaluation, social orientations, and programs of
political action.
