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.
