	Daniel Bell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His most influential books are The End of Ideology (1960), The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism (1976) and The Coming of Post-Industrial Society (1973).
		The End of Ideology has been influential in what was called endism.
		This is the idea that both history and ideology have been reduced to insignificance because Western democratic politics and capitalism have triumphed.

	Ideology and Democracy in Latin America
		Ideology is one of the most elusive concepts in the social sciences.
		The relevance of ideology, in contrast, is not as directly apparent and is consequently shunned by political analysts.
		More importantly, the various guerrilla movements that espoused revolutionary ideologies counterpoised their vision to what was labeled “bourgeois democracy.” The choice confronting Latin Americans was seen as one between “socialism or dependency.” The bourgeois democracies in place at the time were seen as agents of international capitalism.

	The End of History? - Francis Fukuyama
		What we may be witnessing is not just the end of the Cold War, or the passing of a particular period of postwar history, but the end of history as such: that is, the end point of mankind's ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government.
		To say that history ended in 1806 meant that mankind's ideological evolution ended in the ideals of the French or American Revolutions: while particular regimes in the real world might not implement these ideals fully, their theoretical truth is absolute and could not be improved upon.
		But at the end of history it is not necessary that all societies become successful liberal societies, merely that they end their ideological pretensions of representing different and higher forms of human society.

		Ideology was a strong component of the two world wars and has played a major role in the development of the world’s different societies and cultural systems.
		Yet the idea that ideology cannot disappear unless social relations are transformed on the level of power relations to solidarity relations is an error that Bell, Nathan Glazer, Seymour Martin Lipset and others who promoted the idea of the end of ideology at the beginning of the 1960s made by accepting the welfare state.
		Bell – one of the prominent proponents of the end of ideology – confirmed that major ideologies that emanated from the humane philosophies of the renaissance period are on their way to extinction and that humanity will return to ideologies that existed before modernisation, especially ethnic and religious conflicts.

	The End of Utopia
		Aron, who had been a principal organizer of the Milan conference, evoked what he called "the end of the age of ideology," or "the end of the ideological age." Ideology meant revolution and utopianism: These were finished.
		The End of Ideology, published in 1960, closed with reflections on the fate of younger intellectuals in a world that had put radicalism and utopianism to rest.
		He found little, and argued in an essay titled "The End of the `The End of Ideology'" that ideology was "waxing stronger than ever." Bell's argument, stated another commentator, smacked of the past.

	LiteratureClassics.com -- Essay -- Have We Seen the End of Ideology?
		Ideology has been defined in several different ways; I assume the reader is familiar with its basic implication, that of the word signifying existing systems of thought and belief which are produced by and are reflective of social constructs.
		An idea introduced in the 1950's, 'the end of ideology' supporters had a field day after the American Presidential elections, when the lack of substantive differences between political parties lent credence to their theory.
		A poststructuralist view of the impossibility of several forms of ideology co-existing is flawed at its inception since it effects a closure and excludes the possibility of there ever having been co-existing ideologies.

	"Listening to the General: Pinochet and the End of Ideology" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Ideology is often taken to be a smokescreen behind which politicians hide, in their attempts to seek legitimation or consent in the public arena.
		Yet examining the Pinochet case shows that the end of ideology is far from being the inauguration of a new era of liberal consensus (as Daniel Bell foretold in the 1950s and Francis Fukuyama announced in the 1990s).
		The end of ideology does not make for the end of politics--although this is still what some would have us believe.

		Ideology, which by its nature is an all-or-none affair, and temperamentally the thing he wants, is intellectually devitalized, and few issues can be formulated any more, intellectually, in ideological terms.
		The point is that ideologists are "terrible simplifiers." Ideology makes it unnecessary for people to confront individual issues on their individual merits.
		The end of ideology closes the book, intellectually speaking, on an era, the one of easy "left" formulae for social change.

	Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": "Ideology" by Raymond Williams (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Ideology first appeared in English in 1796, as a direct translation of the new French word ideologie which had been proposed in that year by the rationalist philosopher Destutt de Tracy.
		Ideology is a process accomplished by the so-called thinker consciously indeed but with a false consciousness.
		Ideology is then abstract and false thought, in a sense directly related to the original conservative use but with the alternative — knowledge of real material conditions and relationships — differently stated.

	Francis Fukuyama & the end of history by Roger Kimball (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		What we are witnessing is not just the end of the Cold War, or a passing of a particular period of postwar history, but the end of history as such: that is, the end point of mankind’s ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government.
		For in proclaiming that the end of history had arrived in the form of triumphant liberal democracy, Fukuyama did not mean that the world would henceforth be free from tumult, political contention, or intractable social problems.
		Fukuyama envisaged was not the end of history—understood as the lower-case realm of daily occasions and events—but the end of History: an evolutionary process that represented freedom’s self-realization in the world.

	Australian Labor Party: The End Of Ideology In Indigenous Affairs
		The title 'The End of Ideology in Indigenous Affairs' is deliberately provocative.
		Ideology is defined as "the body of doctrine, myth, and symbols of a social movement, institution, class, or large group".
		Their ideology requires a fierce denial of past injustice against Indigenous people, and the rejection of any healing or symbolic measures that seek to bring Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians together.

		The theory of mass society, cited by Daniel Bell in the first essay in The End of Ideology, 1960, as being, "probably the most influential social theory in the Western world today", is derived from several sources.
		Bell, after a survey of the diverse origins and permutations of the concept concludes it does not apply to modern American with its many diverse voluntary organizations.

	Ghosts, Monks and Bobos, an article by Michael Quirk in the Fall 2001 issue of CrossCurrents
		In an early essay of his, "The End of Ideology and the End of the End of Ideology," MacIntyre cited Bell's book as itself a specimen of ideological mystification.
		In that era, philosophers and moralists jettisoned the idea of a human telos, an end or goal proper to human beings as such, which could be discovered by rational reflection on "the good life" and embodied in the practices and institutions of socio-political communities.
		Berman realizes that he has his work cut out for him: the end of the cold war and the recent collapse of Asian "miracle economies" in Japan, Korea, and Indonesia have led to a mood in America that is relentlessly self-congratulatory, to say the least.

		Now, if we are indeed facing the end of history and the end of the nation-state, that is a lot of change.
		You might equally well conclude that we have reached the end of accuracy, since there is still plenty of history, lots of nation-states, and enough affluence, education, work, nature, sex, and ideology to last us for a while yet.
		But a surprising number of books were true to the "the end of" genre, proclaiming or predicting or advocating a final shutdown of some piece of life as we have known it to be or hoped for it to become.

	Letter to the New Left by C. Wright Mills 1960
		But the fashion I have in mind is the weariness of many NATO intellectuals with what they call “ideology,” and their proclamations of “the end of ideology.” So far as I know, this began in the mid-fifties, mainly in intellectual circles more or less associated with the Congress of Cultural Freedom and the magazine Encounter.
		If the phrase “the end of ideology” has any meaning at all, it pertains to self-selected circles of intellectuals in the richer countries.
		The end-of-ideology is in reality the ideology of an ending; the ending of political reflection itself as a public fact.

		The end of Islamic ideology is not the end of ideology, nor is it the end of history, or the appearance of the last man.(28) Such self-congratulatory assumptions at the presumed centers of globalizing power are nervous signs of the encroachment of the periphery, the fear of the foreign.
		The end of Islamic ideology is not "the failure of political Islam" either.(29) If an iota of self-respect and historical agency has remained for Muslims some two centuries into the ravages of Christianity-modulated colonialism it is precisely because of their having successfully turned aspects of their ancestral faith into sites of resistance to colonialism.

		There is a view abroad in the land that science is more of an ideology than a methodology, and thus that it cannot legitimately claim to have a corner on reality.
		And as the accepting and rejecting of ideologies should be left to the individual it follows that the separation of state and church must be complemented by the separation of state and science, that most recent, most aggressive, and most dogmatic religious institution.

		It is part of the time which has seen the end of ideology.
		Max Weber, more than forty years ago, in a poignant essay entitled "Politics as a Vocation," posed the problem as one of accepting the "ethics of responsibility" or the "ethics of ultimate ends." For the latter--the "true believer"~all sacrifices, all means, are acceptable for the achievement of one's belief.
		In the end, almost all had lost the dream and the world was only doubt.

	The End of History?
		We are seeing the end of ideology -- that is to say, of those secular religions, or political faiths that we inherited form the enlightenment and from its nineteenth-century followers, such as Marx.
		History in terms of ideology is over but history in terms of a tragic epoch still continues along traditional lines of ethnic convulsions, of ecological catastrophes, forced migration, and mass killings over shadowing those of past centuries.
		The part of the world that has reached the end of history is far more preoccupied with economics than with politics or strategy.

	Brainstorms: Phillip L. Engle: New Evolutionary Theory: The End of Ideology
		Abstract: During the first half of the 20th century Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution became firmly established as scientific orthodoxy, and Darwin became hailed (and is hailed to this day) as the greatest biologist in the history of science.
		While the foundations upon which Darwinism is based (the presumed all- sufficiency of linear and statistical science, together with Lyell’s principle of uniformitarianism) have crumbled and collapsed, the ideology of Darwinism persists to this day.
		One could say that the DNA hypothesis of inheritance is "ideology", but it is also very robustly supported science.

	The New End of Ideology? by Murray N. Rothbard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Since the End of Ideology theory immediately preceded the remarkable eruption of the New Left and a decade of stormy ideology, the End of Ideology theorists had to quietly dump their wishful prophecies into the well-known dustbin of history.
		Now, in the peaceful 1970’s however, a new form of the end of ideology – in practice this time – has emerged, both on the Right and the Left, and few analysts have described or examined this new trend.
		And so there is no distinguishable Right and Left anymore, no hard-edged ideology for either side; they now form the right and left wings of the Establishment, differing still, to be sure, on foreign policy and militarism, but really part of one overall, mish-mash consensus.

		Questions about means and ends, indeed the very effort to define ends, are disparaged as "ideological bickering," leftovers from another age and another continent.
		One aspect of American political culture is a self-congratulatory enthusiasm for being "non-ideological." This was crystallized in the "End of Ideology" thesis propounded by various social and political scientists in the 1950s.
		Briefly (and broadly) the assertion was that the end of ideology was upon us because the advanced West could resolve all major problems within the existing systems, thus allowing everybody to be happily integrated.
