If ideology has never before been so evident as a fact and so little understood as it appears to be today, then Jason Blakely argues in his new book Lost in Ideology: Interpreting Modern Political Life (Agenda Publishing, 2023), this may not be because we are like travelers guided by old maps of the political world, but because we make the mistake of thinking that our maps are the worlds in which we live and act politically. When we read them as if they are reality, rather than representations of it, we get lost.
If you like this episode of New Books in Interpretive Political and Social Science, you might also be interested in others in the series, including Jason and Mark Bevir talking about their Interpretive Social Science, and James C. Scott, who passed away shortly before this episode was recorded, discussing his Against the Grain.
Jason recommends Charles Taylor’s sequel to The Language Animal, Cosmic Connections, and Jon Fosse’s novelistic exploration of the human condition, Septology.
