Are we living through the great derangement of our times?
In The Madness of Crowds Douglas Murray investigates the dangers of 'woke' culture and the rise of identity politics. In lively, razor-sharp prose he examines the most controversial issues of our moment: sexuality, gender, technology and race, with interludes on the Marxist foundations of 'wokeness', the impact of tech and how, in an increasingly online culture, we must relearn the ability to forgive.
One of the few writers who dares to counter the prevailing view and question the dramatic changes in our society — from gender reassignment for children to the impact of transgender rights on women — Murray's penetrating book, now published with a new afterword taking account of the book's reception and responding to the worldwide Black Lives Matter protests, clears a path of sanity through the fog of our modern predicament.

Impressions

  • Paulshared an impression3 years ago

    Excellent and relevant analysis to help break taboos and navigate the contradictory and regressive ideology of wokeism.

Quotes

  • John Stonehousehas quoted3 years ago
    There is no evidence to go beyond this and impute any kind of choice into the origins of sexual orientation
  • John Stonehousehas quoted3 years ago
    None of which is very long ago, and a good reason why there is some remaining suspicion of the language or practice of medicalization or psychiatry making its way into any discussion of homosexuality

    A one-way street?
