What if the real problem with dominant narratives isn’t that they’re morally wrong, but that they are epistemically rigged? Aytac and Rossi’s “Ideology Critique without Morality: A Radical Realist Approach” argues that we should stop treating ideology critique as moral score‑keeping and start treating it as an investigation into how power becomes judge in its own cause. On their account, beliefs and practices are ideologically flawed when they are products of self‑justifying power sustained by politically motivated reasoning and shielded from genuine contestation. For strat4, this means that ideology critique becomes an “epistemic audit” of the concepts, metrics and stories that organisations and movements use to certify their own legitimacy.
