A critical theory of ideology must incorporate an analysis of distorted belief unless it is to rest on a simplistic reductionism. And an analysis of distorted belief must focus on the inner constitution of consciousness unless it is to rest on a problematic claim to a privileged access to truth. This paper endeavours to provide such an analysis. Distorted beliefs arise as a result of deception, the action of the unconscious, or irrationality. In each of these cases the distortion is motivated by a rogue pro‐attitude, that is, a preference other than for true belief which then exercises an illegitimate influence on belief. Rogue pro‐attitudes can derive from any one of a reason, desire, or need
