Summary/Abstract: Ideology is older than the world of modernity. Like religion and metaphysics, it is “innate” to man as a member of a social community. Just as paranoid manifestations in a society can sometimes have a protective function – because society responds to a potentially genuine threat by activating the defense mechanism of fear, which results in a return to human solidarity – prejudice is not merely a false consciousness, but rather a way in which a society shapes its self-consciousness in relation to the Other.
