Abstract: Based on an analysis of various ideological theories in history Eagleton concluded that ideology was of two forms,epistemology and ontology.He claimed that the essence of ideology lay in the functions of the classes.Through studies of modern capitalist social literature he proposed six categories of ideological production.In a sense these categories have further developed Marxist ideological theory.However,Eagleton failed to understand the relation between Marxist scientific theory and Marxist ideology.Therefore,without Marxist scientific theory as the premise it was impossible for him to achieve the emancipation function he had intended to in constructing the aesthetic ideological theory.
