520    Across the democratic West, politics has become deeply 
       polarised and profoundly personal. Challenge someone's 
       political views and increasingly you challenge their very 
       being. And yet, do our political tribes even make sense? 
       Look carefully, and on the most important ethical issues 
       of the age - assisted dying, social welfare, sexual 
       liberation, abortion, gun control, the environment, 
       technology, justice - the instinctive positions of both 
       the Left and the Right are riven with contradictions. In 
       this refreshing and eye-opening book, James Mumford, a 
       public thinker and independent commentator, questions the 
       basic assumptions of our political groups. His challenge 
       is simple: 'Why should believing strongly about one topic 
       mean the automatic adoption of so many others?' Vexed is 
       an essential and provocative account that will appeal to 
       anyone of independent thought, and a welcome call for new 
       reflection on the moral issues most relevant to our modern
       way of life. 
545    James Mumford lives in London and is a fellow at the 
       University of Virginia's Institute for Advanced Studies in
       Culture. He received his PhD from Oxford University and 
       was a Henry fellow at Yale where his graduate studies were
       in political philosophy and religion. He writes for the 
       Guardian, New Statesman, The Atlantic, Spectator, Daily 
       Telegraph and the Times Literary Supplement
