El pensamiento filosófico de izquierda ante la ideología:una lectura desde la obra de Luis Villoro

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to reflect on how the leftis tthinking of Luis Villoro confronts Ideology. Accordingto Lui sVilloro, the left is a “moralstance” that overruns and questions wha thas been established through imposition. As for Ideology, he understands it as a false and unjustified belief at the service of private interests. In order to accomplish this goal, acritical analysis was carried out on texts produced by the author dealing specifically with the ideas of Ideology and The Left. The methodology applied responds to the components that form atheoretical research. As a result, it is possible to see that one of the main ideological forms questioned by Villoro is Science, which leads to Scientificism. Facing the discourse of Science as Ideology, Villoro gives preference to wisdom as transferable experience. Later on, when dealing with power and control, two actions that provide consistency to ideologies: reason in the left -wing as political thought and perspective, and the recognition of others as strategy towards control and human need as a horizon, constitute the different analysis categories that converge in what could be understood as away to face an ideology.
