Abstract

Political ideology has been a confusing topic for social analysts, and those who attempted to eschew judgmental reductions of others’ conceptions and develop a non-polemical political psychology found ideology behaving in ways that defeated their theories of political reasoning.  I argue that political ideology can best be understood as actors’ theorization of their own position, and available strategies, in a political field.
