The ideology and its grounding in the work

Abstract

The following article discusses ideology as an element intended to extinguish social conflicts. Based on extracts from Marx’s work, we find the apprehension of the ideological phenomenon as only being possible through the understanding of labor as the corner stone of social life. In this sense, ideology can contribute to the social formation. This contribution, as we would like to show, is strictly related with the development of social values and its perception in daily life.
