In The German Ideology, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels do not provide for an explicit definition of the notion of "ideology". They rather compare it to mystified consciousness, because individuals are not aware of the social sources of their thoughts. One is frequently convinced that one's opinions, as well as political and philosophical views, are autonomous, i.e. that they result from one's own thinking, whereas in reality they are heavily dependent on the social circumstances which form their basis. In the words of Marx and Engels: "Consciousness can never be anything else than conscious existence, and the existence of men is their actual life-process. If in all ideology men and their circumstances appear upside-down as in a camera obscura, this phenomenon arises just as much from their historical life-process as the inversion of objects on the retina does from their physical life-process".
