Lakes reviewed The New Leviathans by John Gray
Dogma as a Death Instinct
4 stars
I might not fully agree with this book. But it's hard to argue or not sympathize with his cynical view of ideology as a whole. All ideologies have failed us in some way. He seems to suggest that social ills are both an inevitable part of life & re-enforced by our dogmatic allegiance to ridding of them.
