ABSTRACT:
The main purpose of this article is to bring out the meaning of Lefort''s theory of ideology. Criticizing the current line of interpretation, we will try to emphasize two crucial aspects. The first one is that, in Lefort’ system of thought, the ideological function cannot be separated from the general mechanism of the symbolic institution of society. Consequently, the legitimacy of democratic regimes is not incongruous with the logic of ideology.

Keywords: distorted representation, ideology critique, imaginary, Lefort, symbolic institution
