Dan on Ideology

Constraining the politicization of worldviews that are based on a moral claim.

Hot off the presses at Philosophical Studies, "Keeping ideology in its place" by Dan Moller. The essay takes ideology to be the politicization of a worldview built on a moral claim, and argues that, while this provides us with social cohesion and mobilization, it must also be constrained, as it has a tendency to undermine liberal social institutions.
