Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses by Louis Althusser

Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses is a pivotal essay by French Marxist philosopher Louis Althusser, first published in 1970. In this work, Althusser expands on Marxist theory by exploring how ideology functions within capitalist societies to perpetuate the conditions of production and maintain the power of the ruling class. Althusser introduces the concept of Ideological State Apparatuses (ISAs) to explain the complex ways in which ideology is embedded in various societal institutions.
