DESCRIPTION:

Modern political life is a confusing and disorientating terrain of competing ideologies. Jason Blakely offers readers a lively, fresh and insightful guide through the labyrinth of conflicting and competing ideas in order to better understand why ideology in the modern era can be so divisive.

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!”

REVIEWS:

“Accessible and rich, detailed and comprehensive, well-argued and well written … it helps us better make sense of this crazy political world in which we live … a book that will necessarily find itself on to the syllabi of almost every course in political philosophy ... At a time when academia is in crisis, and many academics are busily chasing fads, here is a bright light.” - National Catholic Reporter “Makes the case for a more subtle and mind-opening perspective on ideology ... people who regard themselves as immune to ideological contagion would do well to read Blakely's book.” - Inside Higher Ed “Citizens are too easily "lost in ideology". In this terrific book, Jason Blakely clarifies the shifting pathways and maps that shape both ideologies and possibilities for moving beyond them....
