The Research On The Ideology Problems Of Althusser

Marx established the concept of the modern context of ideology, but just as Althusser pointed out, Marx was just to lay a theoretical foundation, and academic research can not be just satisfied with this level. It needs further explorationAlthusser pointed out:people are natively the animal of ideology. This conclusion is closely associated with Marx "Human Nature in its reality is the sum of all social relations." Althusser's argument contains a set of profound questions:How should we obtain the most accurate meaning of ideological issues? What is the relationship between people and ideology? What is the function of ideology in the new background? Is Ideology a historical or a permanent category? These questions have been through the history of Marxism. Nearly all the Marxists gave the answers from different perspectives.Althusser continued that tradition, analyzing ideological issues from all the aspects. So far, none of the Marxists in the western society could have such a thorough analysis and critique to the ideology of the capitalist countries like Althusser, including Lukacs. Therefore, this essay focuses on the ideology theory of Althusser, tracing its theoretical sources, analyzing the contents and searching for the reasonableness and defects.
