Historically the concept of Ideology belongs to the recent past. The concept of Ideology is central to all genuine criticism of culture and society and is for this reason intimately associated with the Idea of Freedom. In the first part of this article I have attempted an analysis of the historical movement of the concept of Ideology in order to salvage its critical function from the danger of its neutralization by the sociology of knowledge. In the second part, the fate of this concept and its relation to the crisis of Marxism will be examined.
