The Tories are lost because every part of their ideology has failed.
Commentary on the leadership race has focused on the candidates, but their fundamental problem is that their entire worldview has collapsed.

Hard piece to write. I'm not going to try and sell it. It's basically me attempting to prevent a total slide into despair over what's happening in the Middle East. If you find yourself confused and upset, maybe it'll help. But probably not. iandunt.substack.com/p/a-newslett...

Trying something here. Only for people with no formal study of philosophy. Please name three philosophers. Any era, country, or school, but the first three who come to mind. (Would also be helpful to know where you live.) Thank you.
