Philosophy Vs Ideology.

Philosophy Vs Ideology.

By Dr. Sohail Ansari

Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words).

He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism.

·       Ideology cannot survive if it does not discourage thinking among its adherent that goes against the basic doctrines that govern it.

·       Intellectual honesty requires that one must ponder the validity of a theory and explores it in all plausible approaches to debunk or endorse it.

·       Beliefs those cannot be accepted without propaganda must not have the intrinsic worth to survive on their own.

 Philosophy versus Ideology 

·        There is a fundamental difference between philosophy and ideology: ideology is aimed at ‘changing the world, whereas philosophy is aimed at seeking the truth’. In other words, ideology expresses ‘dissatisfaction with the current state and aspires to be some future state whereas philosophy tries to understand the world in its current state’. Ideology having sought the truth decides, if truth is that world is in perfect shape, it supports and if otherwise it seeks ways to change it.
