Lost in Ideology - Interpreting Modern Political Life

Lost in Ideology sets out from the conviction that the current disorientation engulfing the world’s liberal democracies is in no small part ideological in origin. People feel confused because there are multiple ideological maps, so to speak, each marked by dramatically different points of interest, rivers, summits, roads, and total topographies. Ideology in the modern era has the paradoxical effect of orienting millions even as it disorients millions. This leads us to the present-day predicament in which individuals of every imaginable political stripe confidently declare: “I have a theory – but you? You have an ideology!” Thus, any reorientation within the political world will have to pass through ideology’s forbidding labyrinth of conflicting and overlapping maps. By foregrounding a cultural and historical framework, Lost in Ideology maps the ideological terrain of the past 200 years or so with sophistication and a democratic sensibility. It offers both an invaluable guide for the uninitiated as well as a fresh and insightful analysis for readers more familiar with the fractured landscape of today's ideologies.
