Abstract

ABSTRACTThis essay traces the history of the concept of ideology from its beginnings in the early nineteenth century to the beginnings of the Twenty-first but pays close attention to those of Karl Mannheim, Edward Shils, and Raymond Aron. Not only are these three scholars experts on the concept of ideology, they worked with one another to help develop and refine its meaning and its application. With this examination of their discussions, we gain a more precise understanding of what an ideology is and a fuller sense of how it functions.
