This work explores the question of defining ideology from a Marxist perspective, offering a reconstruction of Marx's materialist framework and demonstrating the compatibility of Antonio Gramsci's interpretation of historical materialism with Marx's. It combines the works of Marx, Gramsci, Pierre Bourdieu, and William James to develop a comprehensive theory of ideology.

This comprehensive work delves into the intricate exploration of defining ideology from a Marxist perspective, pushing the boundaries of existing Marxist literature. By venturing beyond the conventional frameworks of discussion, the author presents a novel and insightful account of the concept of ideology and its crucial role within the framework of historical materialism. Through a meticulous and detailed analysis of Karl Marx's relevant writings, this volume showcases that, while Marx's work does not offer a coherent and singular account of ideology, it can be reconstructed in a defensible and non-deterministic manner.
The definition of ideology that emerges from this study is then elucidated through a close examination of Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks. Furthermore, the author endeavors to demonstrate that Gramsci's interpretation of historical materialism is both consistent and compatible with Marx's theories.
In order to provide a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, this volume combines the works of Marx and Gramsci, as well as incorporates elements of Pierre Bourdieu's social theory and William James's psychology. This fusion of ideas aims to appeal to scholars of social and political theory who have a keen interest in political economy and Marxist thought. By offering a systematic articulation of a theory of ideology that encompasses these diverse perspectives, this volume provides a valuable contribution to the field of intellectual inquiry.
