ideologiska

Ideologiska is a Swedish adjective meaning related to ideology or ideologies. It describes beliefs, worldviews, or systems of ideas that guide political, social, or cultural positions. The term is commonly used in academic, media, and public discourse to characterize content or actors as having a particular ideological orientation.

Inflection and usage: the form ideologiska appears when the noun it modifies is plural or definite plural. For singular common gender, the form is ideologisk, and for singular neuter it is ideologiskt. Examples include ideologiska tendenser (ideological tendencies), ett ideologiskt resonemang (an ideological argument), den ideologiska basen (the ideological base).

Nuance and connotations: ideologiska often carries evaluative or bias-laden undertones, depending on context. In neutral analyses it marks ideological content or alignment, but in polemical writing it can be used to critique or emphasize perceived partisanship or rigidity of beliefs.

Etymology: the adjective derives from the noun ideologi (ideology) with the adjectival suffix -isk. Ideologi itself is borrowed into Swedish from other European languages, ultimately tracing back to Greek roots idea and -logia, a common basis for words describing systems of thought.
