Values, Ideology, Interests

Summary/Abstract: The axeological priorities of the social system in Yugoslavia, i.e. its ideological subsystem, are am bivalent and contradictory. With in a situation in which there is no clear hierarchy of aims and where the so-called "ultimate reality" is not defined, the acting subjects of the system behave rationally, promoting short¬-term interests while frequently transgressing against the set-up of established norms and opposing the existing political doctrine. An ambivalent ideological pattern is unable to implement an integrated social action. The Yugoslav system of values includes three types of axeological orientation: Marxist, technocratic, and traditional. The basic opposition within these systems lies in the difference between the criteria of rationality: the economic criterium and the criterium of solidarity. The ideological system does not have a clear priority concerning the kinds of rationality in social decision-making. An alternative ideology might mediate between the values in the existing three ideological patterns that affirm the qualities of human living.
