First published in 1977
The American Ideology
presents an analysis of the ways in which Americans and the most advanced capitalist countries think about science, technology, and organization. In particular, the author describes it as an anti-sociological essay set within the broader area between sociology and philosophy as functionally legitimate disciplines within the academic division of labour.
The ‘American ideology’ seems to revolve around the concepts of rationality and domination; the tension between these concepts is central to the work of Hegel, Marx, Weber, and the Frankfurt School. The author argues in particular that the social sciences are unavoidably a
part
of the problem expressed through this tension and
not
a neutral means of observing and resolving it from a distance. This book is an essential read for students and scholars of sociology, political science, and political philosophy.
