Ferruccio Rossi-Landi was one of Italy's foremost Marxist theorists. In "Marxism and Ideology", which represents the culmination of his life's work, he illuminates the complex issues raised by the concept of "ideology". Through its analysis of the intimate relationship between language, consciousness and power, his treatise not only offers a review of the history of the notion of ideology and the debate surrounding it, but represents an original and comprehensive revision of the classic Marxist theory of ideology. While retaining the conceptual framework of historical materialism, the author takes on board three major developments in post-war human sciences: the recognition of Marxism's shortcomings as a predictive and strictly empirical system of thought, the relativism which has invaded every academic discipline, and the emergence of semiology and linguistics as major fields of enquiry. In the hands of Rossi-Landi, Marxism becomes both a finely-tuned analytical tool for investigating ideology and a fully-fledged ideology in its own right.
