'To try and do something which is inherently impossible', the conservative philosopher Michael Oakeshott once wrote, 'is always a corrupting enterprise'. It is a theme that has been central to much of philosopher John Gray's recent work. In Black Mass, he gives the argument a new twist. Virtually all politics, he suggests, is inherently impossible and therefore corrupting.
