The strengths & weaknesses of conceiving ideology as ideology of the obvious are discussed. Following the analysis of Louis Althusser, the notion of obvious conceals the point at which an ideology is the most vulnerable. Althusser views ideology as discourse & his theory of ideology oscillates between irreductibility of ideology & epistemological cut -- the separation of what is within & what is beyond ideology. At this point, Althusser's theory of ideology faces serious difficulties, but they can be alleviated through Jacques Lacan's theory of four discourses. Adapted from the source document.

Karl Popper's philosophy of science is divided in two phases: proposals for new solutions to scientific problems & a critical examination of suggested solutions. Popper's choice of hypotheses is based on what is expected from them -- to explain observed problems & predict new ones. The idea that success in science must be measured in terms of a true description of reality embodied in three worlds -- ontologies -- is analyzed as a subjective, value-laden view. The best theory of scientific growth would depict the correspondence between the totality of knowledge & reality, where science may be an ever-improving resemblance of reality. 1 Figure, 20 References.
