Who defined an ideology as 'a set of ideas by which men posit, explain and justify the ends and means of organized social action, irrespective of whether such action aims to preserve, amend, uproot or rebuild a given social order' ?

  • A.de Tracy
  • B.Martin Seliger
  • C.D. McLellan
  • D.J. Larrain

Answer: B

The definition of ideology quoted is by Martin Seliger.

In Ideology and Politics Seliger defines ideology as a set of ideas by which people posit, explain and justify the ends and means of organised social action, whether it aims to preserve, amend, uproot or rebuild a social order. De Tracy coined the word 'ideology' as the science of ideas, McLellan and Larrain are writers on the concept's history and Marxist usage, and none of them gave this wording.
