The question asks about the meanings of ideology and provides four statements labeled I–IV. I will evaluate each option before identifying which are correct according to the given answer.
Option I: 'The science and knowledge about ideas.' This frames ideology as a scientific or systematic body of knowledge about ideas. While ideology does involve ideas, describing it specifically as 'the science and knowledge about ideas' is a broad, somewhat atypical characterization. However, if we interpret ideology as a comprehensive framework of ideas and the study of those ideas in a social or political context, it can be seen as aligning with a defined body of ideas—hence it can be considered correct in the stated key.
Option II: 'A study on the fundamental nature of existence and reality.' This is the domain of metaphysics or ontology, not ideology. Metaphysical inquiry asks about what exists and the nature of reality, which is separate from systems of ideas used to interpret social or political life. Therefore, II is incorrect.
Option III: 'The philosophical study of the nature, origin, and limits of human knowledge.' This describes epistemology, the branch of philosophy concerned with knowledge and justification, not ideology. Since its focus is on knowledge itself rather than on belief systems used to interpret society, III is incorrect.
Option IV: 'A set of thoughts and beliefs that determines a perspective with which to interpret social and political issues.' This aligns closely with the standard understanding of ideology: a coherent system of beliefs guiding how individuals or groups view and interpret social and political phenomena. Therefore, IV is correct.
In summary, option II and option III address other branches of philosophy (metaphysics/ontology and epistemology) and do not define ideology, while option I and option IV frame ideology as a body of ideas and as a perspective on social/political issues. Since the provided answer indicates I and IV are correct, the reasoning above supports those selections within the given key.
