The project of ideology as a transformation of reality and false consciousness
The problem of ideology is timeless, or rather, it is caused by the very fact of the existence of the state as a concrete historical phenomenon. This is not only one of the eternal questions of philosophy, but also an actual modern aspect of any social phenomenon. The surrounding reality is subject to objective changes under the direct influence of ideological practices. In turn, ideology is a product of spiritual production as a result of the activity of public consciousness. Getting acquainted with the events of the past from the history of social groups and peoples, we can observe how the social masses were captured by the ideas of the central elite and acted according to the will of the interests of the minority. Under the influence of ideology, the consciousness of the individual is undergoing a transformation in order to integrate social views into a unified picture of the world. The key thesis of our research is that with the help of the ideology project, social reality can transform the transition from an objective original to the creation of a new reality claiming the place of the original. This is not a simple simulation, as the new product is the result of practical interaction between subjects of ideological relations. To confirm our thesis, it will be necessary to analyze the key aspects of the essence of ideology in order to understand the main reasons for the transformation of the surrounding world. This problem is becoming more relevant due to the widespread spread of the industry of mass culture products under the influence of the development of information and neural network technologies. With the help of digital tools, humanity has the opportunity to generate original virtual realities, which will soon begin to claim the status of objective reality, and subsequently recreate new forms of ideology.
