AS FONTES E IMPLICAÇÕES DA QUESTÃO DA IDEOLOGIA EM PAUL RICOEUR

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to shed some additional light on the discussion concerning ideology in Ricoeur. As a secondary aim, we discuss the main sources and implications of this question in Ricoeur, Moreover, this paper is supposed to be a contribution to
overcome a common and insufficient sense embodied in the ideological phenomenon. The phenomenological hermeneutic, a method of philosophical analysus, is employed as a way to facilitate the meditation in a Ricoeur fashion.

Finally, according to Ricoeur, we conclude ideology is not only a phenomenum strlctly linked to a distortion of social reality. It is
also related to society's power and integration, which in fact changes our way to understand the entire world. The ideology is an endless and unsolvable phenomenon, since there is no ideological place which makes one able to talk about ideology.
