%X Most substantial contribution of Marx would be a clarification of his understanding of ideology. There is not a clear-cut definition of ideology. Marx¡¯s treatment of ideology is unfortunately ambiguous, tense and scattered which makes the job of interpretation a tough one. The significance of the term ¡®ideology¡¯ is apparent with its complex connections to the whole system of Marx¡¯s thought. Reconstruction of theory of ideology includes the evaluation of texts directly relevant to ideology as well as the ones that barely mention ideology. Discussion of a ¡®break¡¯ or ¡®evolution¡¯ or ¡®continuity¡¯ in Marx¡¯s thought of ideology reflects a political choice about ¡®who is Marx¡¯. That is, it should be kept in mind that, evaluation of Marx¡¯s ideas is not satisfactorily neutral and presentation of ¡®who is Marx¡¯ necessarily implies a theoretical position, including this very effort. The argument supported here will be one of ¡®middle way¡¯. Despite the undeniable change and improvement in Marx¡¯s thought, it points an ¡®evolution¡¯ rather than a sharp ¡®break¡¯
