  Ideological assumption - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ideological assumptions are beliefs that often serve as the basis for particular disciplines which go unquestioned within that discipline or as justifications for the actions of a particular society.
A lack of adherence to a society's or field's ideological assumptions is often grounds for the dismissal of a theory outright before it has been fully considered.
The uncovering of ideological assumptions in the field of history tends to raise questions about whether or not a certain level of subjectivity is necessarily a part of historical inquiry.

 HIPPOCRATIC AND IDEOLOGICAL MEDICINE
"Hippocratic medicine" and "Ideological medicine" wish to be, obviously, significant expressions and claim to condense trends, by means of the use of two adjectives, one of which refers to a "father" of rational and individual medicine, while the other is derived from a noun (ideology) in common use, the meaning of which is well known.
For ideological medicine represented a convenient refuge for the disappointments of the doctor-scientists of the past who so frequently saw the brilliant precursory intuitions of the best of them, such as Hippocrates, shattered by the objective difficulties of the general problems of science and the particular problems of individual clinical cases.
The latter encourages the new dogmatic positions and uses them as a means of ideological indoctrination exercised upon physicians, patients, and on the healthy collectivity, often with terroristic tones the effectiveness of which is assured by an orchestrated use of the mass media.

 ME99 -- The Ideological Journey of South Africa
The RDP document was born in the trenches of the Struggle and the purpose of its utopian élan was to unite the variety of ideological viewpoints within the ‘broad church’ into a united front.
But in my book the ideological quantum leap that took place, was of such a nature that it cannot be explained satisfactorily in terms of the hard realities, but only in terms of a more comprehensive ideological ‘power struggle’ in which the ANC leadership was the loser and right-wing pressure groups the undisputed victors.
The rise of this fl capitalist elite with an Americanised ideological orientation would also be of no concern were it not for the important role a large section of them played in the ideological quantum leap towards the acceptance of a free market ideology by the new government.

 Bakhtin Circle [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
A voluminous, ideologically motivated, often bad-tempered and largely futile body of literature has grown up to contest the issue one way or another, but since there is no concrete evidence to suggest that the published authors were not responsible for the texts which bear their names, there seems no real case to answer.
There are clearly many philosophical, ideological and stylistic discrepancies which, despite the presence of certain parallels and points of agreement, suggest these very different works were largely the work of different authors.
The formal characteristics of a work were themselves of ideological significance, but the reactionary tendency was in the imposition of a unitary perspective on a varied community of opinion.

 Christianity is NOT an Ideological Option
It is time to recognize and assert, “Christianity is not an ideological option.” Mankind is not faced with a multiple-choice quiz wherein an individual must pick and choose one of several ideas to the exclusion of all others, or “all of the above” in an inclusive combination of belief tenets.
Though the human race is indeed confronted with a plurality of ideological options competing for acceptance in men’s minds, the Christian gospel is not one of those ideological options.
Conservative, fundamentalistic Christian religion may project that Christianity is a superior ideological option that excludes all other options as inferior, fallacious and unbelievable, thus justifying their attempts to conserve their own belief as the only viable option of fundamental faith.

 English 571:Taccheri on Althusser
What Althusser puts into light in this way, using the tools given to him by Freud and Lacan, is the pervasively inconscious charater of ideology, inherent in all the social practices in which we are born, in the process of attribution of meaning.
These are "in fact unified, despite its diversity and its contradictions, beneath the ruling ideology, which is the ideology of the ruling class"(146), but at the same time understood as the site of class struggle (147).
Furthermore, it seems to me that the indication of a preferential Ideological apparatus is in contradiction with the spirit of Lacan's theory, that conceives the individual as submerged and completely internal to the continuum of the law of the Phallus, and not partially in and partially out of it.

 The Korea Herald : The Nation's No.1 English Newspaper   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Kang controversy, which resurrected a tornado of ideological debate between progressives and conservatives, is likely to blow up into a political confrontation over judicial autonomy and the possible involvement of Cheong Wa Dae in the justice minister's decision.
The dispute is also seen by observers to reflect a significant gap in views between the liberal administration and the conservative judiciary, in addition to the sensitive issue of investigative autonomy.
GNP floor leader Kang Jae-sup said Cheong Wa Dae has been signaling its intention to interfere in the prosecution's investigation and added, "Minister Chun must take responsibility and step down." But the opposition's moves were a notch down from earlier in the day when many of its lawmakers wanted to submit the no-confidence vote immediately.

 Among the Neocons
There is a full- scale ideological war in the ranks of those who think of themselves as conservative and, if they were of age, supported Ronald Reagan a generation ago.
Their opponents include the disparate right-wing sorts mentioned by Frum and—just as significantly—a far larger number of moderate, centrist, or establishment-oriented Republicans who are not by temperament given to ideological battling but who tend to perceive the neocons as dangerous zealots.
Add to them Samuel Huntington, the Harvard political scientist who—if he wasn’t a neocon by virtue of institutional ties, as a moderately hawkish and conservative Democrat seemed to be an almost pure representative of the ideological tendency—and you had a situation in which the neocon bastion was riven by defections of major figures.
