The Production of Meanin
Abstract
The article argues that the production of meaning is itself the production of social reality. It shows that ideological frameworks function as stabilizing illusions, while the management of meaning underpins governance and shapes historical outcomes. Communities lacking the capacity to produce meaning autonomously are compelled to consume and live according to external narratives. This work is positioned at the intersection of political philosophy, social theory, and the philosophy of history.
