On Franz Jakubowski's Ideology and Superstructure in Historical Materialism.
We focus on a very short section from Jakubowski's 1936 book, and delve into wider questions regarding ideology, social totality, and the middle classes.
-
Is ideology “false, partial consciousness”?
-
Is Jakubowski right that capitalism is the least ideological social form so far?
-
Is it true that the middle classes only come into contact with the commodity when it is in circulation?
-
How is the middle class' social position reflected in its worldview? How has this changed over 100 years?
