Ideology and Power in Academia

This chapter examines the intersection of ideology and power, comparing the ascendance of harmful narratives in contemporary academia to historical precedents like Nazi Germany. It focuses on the influence of critical theory and cultural Marxism, tracing their impact on the evolution of scientific thought and identity politics, particularly from the 1960s onwards. The discussion highlights how these academic trends can undermine objective truth and academic integrity, reflecting on the broader implications for society.
