Political ideology analysis
In his book, Ideology: A Very Short Introduction, Michael Freeden aims to tackle the reasons behind the controversial term, ideology. He seeks to explain the core of ideology as both a political phenomenon and as the groundwork for political thought and action. In this essay, it is my intention to analyze the dynamic perceptions of ideology according to Freeden.
