Description
This book offers a new perspective on ideology, exploring its role in shaping our social meanings and practices. Sally Anne Haslanger argues that ideology is not just a theoretical concept, but a lived experience that guides our agency and identities.
Haslanger contends that ideology is often perpetuated through cultural technologies that perpetuate unjust subordination. However, she also suggests that ideology critique can offer liberating alternatives, allowing us to challenge and transform these power dynamics.
Through this critical lens, Haslanger sheds light on the complex and often conflicting nature of ideology, revealing its profound impact on our social world.
