Review: "Ideology is one of the most controversial terms in our political vocabulary, exciting both repulsion and inspiration." "This book examines the reasons for those views, and explains why ideologies deserve respect as a major form of political thinking. Michael Freeden investigates the certainty of ideology both as a political phenomenon and as an organizing framework of political thought and action. He explores the way in which ideology has been understood as a concept and the arguments of the most influential ideologies. By employing the latest insights from a range of disciplines, the reactor is introduced to this important resource at the disposal of societies through which both sense and purpose are assigned to the political world."--BOOK JACKET.
