hi paola,

concerning ideology, it all depends what you mean,

if ideology means a set of beliefs, we all have them

(marxist use it as false consciousness to defend the material interests of a
particular group)

being post-idealogical can mean being open to different traditions and using
ideas independent of their original ideological source,

Michel
