If you really want to do that, I can link you to some online translations of really Chinese works from the early Zhou that jumps back and forth from religious rituals and magic to statecraft as feasible pragmatic tactical and political awareness.
The ideological didn’t start till just prior to the French revolution. It’s a artificial construct central to modern dialogue, but isn’t real as far as we like to unify things.
Really is just cognitive ordering, once technology or social circumstances favor a type that type explodes in new activity. My favorite theorist likes to focus on INTJ businessmen, he thinks more or less prior to modern capitalism and computers we didn’t do shit, and so were under selected sexually as we didn’t sparkle like some others can. Not true at all, history is full of us, Machiavelli, Emperor Augustus, Sun Tzu… but admittedly you go back far enough, we reach a point where our collection of traits couldn’t if been too crucial. I think it wasn’t till the nomadic age that we even got our start, when we spread out of Africa, and only then as navigators, figuring out how to keep everyone fed on the advance.
That isn’t really a wildly primate centric idea, we were tree dwellers, fruits and insects, occasional forest floor scavenging. All our living relatives limit themselves to that, outside a foray with a stick into the occasional termite mound. Our ability to map and plan started here, we’re the best at it, but everyone would have it unconsciously if some are increasingly conscious of it. Note with no written or spoken languages, no real descriptive art, no maps… are maps “ideological”? No and Yes… Like I said, Ideology is a modern invention, we apply it to the past, but maps don’t have this application, even though they are evolving ideas, philosophical presumptions of what is a map, how you use it change constantly. A Periplus isn’t a 17th century ship chart, and that’s not a natal astrology chart, they relate, but are used quite differently, using very different but interrelated modes of thought that use one another, but focus on other things in terms of emphasis. You have GPS, Google Earth, in real time. That’s wildly ideological, but it doesn’t occur to us anymore it is. Just seems outside the realm of intellectual ideas, it no longer has a apparent ordering logic that cascades from one aspect of the mind to the next in choices we have to make and understand. That’s the forfront of technology, seems very real, very accurate, we’ve lost our skepticism, and our insights into the differentia mapping as a broad category is capable of. It’s gonna take some time to bust out of this philosophy of space theorizing. Earlier eras, like Cicero, approached memory, imagination and space as mapping, periplus was a list of distances, no images for a map, and termini- boundaries, was a God of boundry stones, people worshipped Hermes along side this, like Cynics and Vagabonds, living off the cuff and thieving. Brigands lived in the hidden and inaccessible. Characters like Robinhood defied kings or emperors, in accord with macho fortune.
Not in our GPS, yet GPS was designed to handle troops on battlefields using guerilla tactics that emphasize all that. “You are here” isn’t on Sun Tzu’s map of Formlessness, but the ideological guerilla emphasizes this to this day.
That’s mapping. One category, all over the place. Multiple modes of mind go into that, order- geometry- meaning- all different in methods that arrive to each. Different methods stem from different styles of thinking.
Structuralism, power politics, it can’t see thus map, presumes it is already there. Why I don’t advocate such systems.
