Listen "Culture & Ideology: Love and Other Needs"

Episode Synopsis

In this show we will be discussing the nature of ideology. What is it? Where does it come from? After developing a definition of ideology to work with, we will go over possible effects culture has on our ideology. In order to assist this conversation we will look at Karl Marx's base- superstructure relation. We went there for a bit, and then talked about universal or fundamental needs such as love which were posited as being logically prior to culture.
