Description
Since the early 1950s, the "decline of ideology" hypothesishas commanded a great deal of attention in the intellectualcommunity at large. Th e controversy has taken bothempirical and polemical turns. Th is book concentrateson the empirical literature, off ering both original contributionsand previously published papers of outstandingimportance. Selections were made to give full play tofreshness of view and diversity of sources. The book presents the hypothesis of ideological declineas set forth by two of its major spokesmen, bringstogether essays that subject this hypothesis to empiricaltests in both Western and non-Western contexts, and thenpresents both positive and negative evaluations of thehypothesis. Avoiding an ex cathedra definition of ideology,the editor and contributors scrutinize the nature ofideology and its workings and suggest approaches to thecomparative treatment of ideologies. This book offers the first clear and wide-rangingoverview of the putative decline of ideology, a conceptburdened by a history of emotional argumentation.Changes in the function of ideology in the Soviet Union,the United States, Western Europe, and Japan are examined,and the ideological dimension of student movementsof the 1960s is taken into account. Ideology: Comparativeand Cultural Status is an expertly edited presentation ofcontrasting views of a vital topic. It is ideally suited foruse in a variety of courses in the area of political thoughtand political sociology. Mostafa Rejai is distinguished professor emeritus of politicalscience at Miami University, Ohio.
