Summary, etc. | Our modern age is preeminently an Age<br/>of Ideology. It is true that, in one sense of the<br/>term, ideology has always been and always will<br/>be with us. There has never been a time when human behavior,<br/>including political behavior, has not<br/>been largely affected by the mental images,<br/>or stereotypes, through which men have grown accustomed<br/>to perceive and judge the world around them. One of the<br/>books in this series, Lane and Sears,<br/>Public Opinion, is devoted to that very basic<br/>problem. But the ideologies with which<br/>we are here concerned are quite<br/>a different matter. These ideologies are the broad and comprehensive<br/>doctrines, like liberalism, communism, or fascism, which have emerged in<br/>the past two hundred years as a peculiar and often decisive factor in con-<br/>temporary politics. In ways that were never true before, our modern wars<br/>are ideological wars, our party conflicts ideological conflicts. Without some<br/>understanding of the nature and effects of these ideologies, no study of<br/>modern politics, foreign or domestic, could possibly make sense. To provide<br/>an introductory basis for coming to grips with this problem is the purpose<br/>of this book.<br/>As contrasted with the various methods used in other volumes of this<br/>series, the method we shall be following here is essentially historical. The<br/>need for such an approach is implicit in the nature of the material. Al-<br/>though our main concern, as political scientists, is to show how ideologies,<br/>here and now, are capable of influencing political behavior, we cannot<br/>hope to do so without looking to the past. Beginning with the liberalism<br/>which played so great a part in the American and French Revolutions,<br/>each ideology has arisen in response to the hopes and needs of a particular<br/>time, and has been modified or replaced by others in the light of sub-<br/>sequent experience. The only possible way of understanding why they are<br/>as they are today is to begin at the beginning, and trace them through<br/>their successive stages of development down to the present time. Only<br/>thus can we hope to explain the nature and extent of their influence in<br/>the world in which we live.<br/>The subject is too vast to be covered at all fully in a book as short as<br/>this. We shall therefore be considering the Age of Ideology in terms of a<br/>very<br/>limited number of writers taken as representative of their respective<br/>schools of thought. Any such selection is bound to be somewhat arbitrary,<br/>and runs the risk of doing less than justice to the material. The best it can<br/>hope to do is to lay down some preliminary guidelines which may prove<br/>useful as a basis for further study. From the author's standpoint, the<br/>most satisfactory reader of this book will be the one who finds it inade-<br/>quate, and goes in search of more. |
