How do we consider ethics in an era in which 'politics has become personal' and polarized into the 'package deals' offered by the Left and the Right?
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. @JamesACMumford / jamesmumford.co.uk
Mumford demonstrates an admirable ability to zero in on things too
often missing from political conversations … A plea for nuance and
ambivalence, in a world that often seems to be in danger of
mislaying both.

James Mumford has written the most intriguing and original
reflection on political tribalism that I have ever read ... Vexed
is an intellectual page-turner.

Politics*
Mumford is a subtle, supple and frequently ingenious thinker. His
style is abrasive enough to make readers sit up when needed, but
never enough to make us feel as if we are being hectored or bullied
… A memorable and illuminating assault on what happens when
ideology shuts down thought.
