Abstract

Althusser introduces the question of Ideology into a new level of discussion. Borrowing ideas from Freudian psychoanalysis, he redefines the concepts of human sciences asserting that Ideology is not only a ‘ false consciousness’ or ‘ consciousness of the inverted world, ’ but also a kind of ‘ ignorance’ or ‘ unconsciousness, ’ which stands at odds with Humanism and Economism. Althusser regards this as the reappearance of Marx's fundamental thesis which he believes must be accomplished. Althusser immediately encountered a variety of criticisms that reveal various aspects of his theory. He insisted in following the logic of his argument departing from the problem of ‘ reproduction, ’ and ending with ‘ subjection’ . The paper tries to demonstrate that Althusser cannot rely on his Ideology argument without distinguishing ‘ science’ from ‘ Politics. ’ Since ‘ Politics’ and ‘ Philosophy’ are the key elements in any discussion concerning Ideology, it should be noticed that, for Althusser, Philosophy is nothing but the ruminated (ruminé ) Politics. That is why Philosophy cannot be conceptualized. Philosophy has no Essence, but can only be applied. The article argues that philosophical practice should be defined as a theoretical political action or the ‘ Critique’ of Ideology. I will conclude that although Althusser emphasizes the rational relation between Philosophy, Politics, and Ideology, his account of the ‘ Critique’ cannot go beyond the political realm.
