Sažetak
In this paper I will put into focus some shortcomings of the approach that criticizes an ideology from an epistemological standpoint. The approach I propose starts from the view that the primary function of ideology is not cognition, or even providing a narrative for explaining the world, instead I take that ideology’s primary function is to stimulate action. Propaganda is criticized as a systematic attempt of manipulation, which is not necessarily limited to the totality of a political agenda of a certain ideology but is also present, in very narrower forms, in specific limited political contexts.
