Abstract: There is no doubt that both individuals and social institutions play a role in causing ongoing social stratification and injustice. \; So there is good reason why ethics tends to focus on the individual and political philosophy tends to focus on the state. \; But persistent inequality is not simply a result of the bad or unjust actions of individuals or badly structured institutions. Actions and institutions depend on both material conditions and culture (and their interdependence). \; The role of material conditions is widely recognized\; it is less clear how culture plays a role. \; In previous work I have argued that cultural schemas are ideological insofar as they organize us either (a) to respond to resources whose value is misconceived or (b) in relations of domination and subordination. \; This offers two dimensions of ideology critique: we are valuing the wrong things\, or the practices and structures that provide access to things of value are unjust. \; In this paper I provide a sketch of how practices reveal\, create\, and occlude facts\, including moral facts\, and situate these results within a theory of ideology. \;
