Abstract: The research on such a phenomenon as “post-ideology†in the domestic scientific literature cannot be called popular (at the end of October 2023, only 19 scientific works with the keyword “post-ideology†are included in the RSCI based on ELibrary), while Western researchers have been talking about the end of “old†ideologies even in the 1960s. Despite this, the phenomenon of “post-ideology†itself has been poorly studied and requires conceptualization. With this article, the author tried to outline the conceptual framework of the “ideology†phenomenon developed by other researchers, and, starting from the result, to identify the essential characteristics and attributes of “post-ideology†. This approach will make it possible to discover the similarities and differences of the phenomena under consideration, as well as to detect existing manifestations of post-ideology in the modern world. Thus, using the example of the political movement “greens†and their ideological platform that is environmentalism, the author shows that environmentalism cannot be classified as a classical ideological movement, but can be characterized as a post-ideological phenomenon. Other popular modern social and political movements, such as feminism, Black Lives Matter, transhumanism, populism, globalism, anti-globalism, etc., also fit into the resulting structure of post-ideology. The article provides a comparative table that shows the main differences between ideology and post-ideology.
