Abstract

The article treats to show how the ideology can be understand how a false pretense of universality or how a case on a fallacy of abusive generalization. For this propose it begin whit the theories of Marx, Engels, Adorno, Habermas, Perelman and Ricoeur. It is intended to recover a critical sense of the concept of ideology that is useful for the critical analysis of discourse, in the broadest sense. The article aims to return to a critical concept of ideology, which is useful for critical discourse studies, and in this sense, opposes the neutral use of the same concept that has been proposed by discourse analysts such as Teun van Dijk and by economists such as Thomas Piketty, among many others. To achieve this purpose, concepts from the analytical philosophy of language (G. Frege), the theory of speech acts (Austin and Searle), the critical theory of the Frankfort School (Adorno), the theory of argumentation or New rhetoric (Perelman-Olbrechts) and the theory of communicative action (Habermas, are used. Likewise, the classic notion of the fallacy of abusive generalization, present from Aristotle to the current theories of formal and informal logic, is used.
