Evidence

Whatever else it signals, the concept ideology makes a direct reference to the role of ideas . It also entails the proposition that ideas are not self-sufficient, that their roots lie elsewhere, that something central about ideas will be revealed if we can discover the nature of the determinacy which non -ideas exert over ideas. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 324
