Jason Blakely is Associate Professor of Political Science at Pepperdine University. He is the author of Alasdair MacIntyre, Charles Taylor, and the Demise of Naturalism and, with Mark Bevir, of Interpretive Social Science (Oxford).

[Jason Blakely] achieves something quite remarkable in this little book. He convincingly makes an ambitious argument which has significant implications for how we consider the role of expertise, narrative, and ideology across our societies ... I would encourage everyone interested in social policy particularly or social science generally to read this book. It will provoke fruitful thinking and open up new perspectives.
