Practice of Philosophy, Politics and critique of Ideology for Louis Althusser

Althusser introduces the question of ideology into a new level of discussion. He redefines the concepts of human science by borrowing ideas from Freudian psychoanalysis. When Althusser defines ideology not "false consciousness" or " consciousness of the inverted world," but also a kind of "ignorance" or “inconsciousness,” which stands at odds with humanism and economism. For Althusser, this is the reappearance of Marx's fundamental theses, in order to accomplish it. Althusser immediately encountered a variety of criticisms that reveal various aspects of his theory. He follows the logic of his argument by departing from the problem of "reproduction," and ending it with "subjection". We will reveal that Althusser can not argue with "ideology" unless it has already been made a distinction between "science" and "politics". And we will not be able to answer the question of ideology without explaining fundamental elements such as "politics" and "philosophy". But then it goes without saying that philosophy itself is nothing but a ruminated (ruminé) politics. And so for Althusser, philosophy can not be conceptualized. Philosophy has no Essence, but philosophy can only be applied. In Althusser, we claim that philosophical practice is a theoretical political action or critique of ideology, and although the ultimate goal of this activity is the actualization of philosophy itself, Althusser's theory does not provide the possibility of going beyond the level of "action" or Emancipation. Finally, we see that Althusser, however, describes the rational relation between philosophy, politics and ideology, but can only explain the "critique" at the political level and can not go beyond it.
