Ideologic forms of political struggle

Abstract

The paper offers an analysis of the question why ideology is again acquiring topicality. The authors examine the three types of subject relations (to the otherness in nature, to the likeness of the “other”, and to the self) and the three corresponding types of questions hereby produced, i.e., scientific, ethical and aesthetic. Questions of each type tend to rely on a specific truth theory, namely on the correspondent, pragmatical and coherent truth respectively. The authors argue that when the Hegelian model of struggling at the highest possible stake gets substituted by contemporary forms of imitative pseudo-conflicts, the aesthetic ideologies inevitably prove to be the dominant form.
