PEREZ CORTES, Sergio. In critical dialogue with Marxism: the concept of ideology in Luis Villoro. Sig. Fil [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.35, pp.140-167. ISSN 1665-1324.

The concept of ideology is emblematic in Luis Villoro’s thought. This paper aims to examine this concept in relation to the dialogue that Villoro established with the work of Karl Marx and the subsequent Marxist tradition. There are two issues of concern regarding the political dimension to the author. The first because of the vagueness of the term; the second, due to Marx’s repressive use by the states that pretended to be his heirs. My main thesis is that Villoro proposed an ethics of belief as a response to his critical reassessment of the political and philosophical dilemmas contained in the concept of ideology.
