THE PHILOSOPHICAL ESSENCE OF IDEOLOGY: HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS AND SOCIETY AS A SHAPING FORCE

Abstract

This thesis analyzes the concept of ideology from a philosophical point of view. The author interprets ideology not only as a set of political slogans, but also as a spiritual force that shapes the development of human consciousness and society. The connection of ideology with philosophy, its dependence on historical reality, and its guiding and moral functions in the human mind are comprehensively covered. At the same time, the author emphasizes that the stability of ideology depends on its moral purity. The philosophical essence of ideology opens the way to a deep understanding of the conscious, spiritual, and ideological connections between man and society.
