CROCHIK, José Leon. Reason, consciouness and ideology: some notes. Estilos clin. [online]. 2007, vol.12, n.22, pp. 176-195. ISSN 1415-7128.

The objective of this essay is to present some of the relations between the concepts of reason, consciousness and ideology. Relations between liberal ideology and reason, fetishism and (false) conscience will be detached; also the instrumental reason and the objective reason will be associated, such as defined for Horkheimer (data), respectively with narcissism and object love, as they are understood by psychoanalysis. Finally, this work discusses three types of ideology present in our days - the liberal one, the technicist and the one that refers to manifest lie - and its relations with psychic necessities.

Keywords : Reason; Consciousness; Ideology; Critical Theory of Society; Psychoanalysis.
