The author's discussion  ranges from the early conceptions of ideology to its current usage in  the works of Barthes, Foucault, Habermas and others. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Boudon develops a distinctive and original approach to the analysis of  ideology. Drawing on a series of case studies, he seeks to explain how  and why social actors adhere so readily to false or dubious ideas. In  opposition to those views which associate ideology with irrationalism,  Boudon develops a rationalist theory which helps to explain why certain  ideas are believed by individuals and are thereby effective in the  social world. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Rigorously argued and clearly written, this work is a major restatement  of Boudon's theoretical views and a timely intervention in current  debates. It will be of particular interest to students of sociology,  politics and philosophy.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eForeword. \u003cp\u003ePrologue.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
