In this new study, Raymond Geuss mobilizes the strength of analytical philosophy to subvert the theoretical premises of contemporary political philosophy. He replaces its fixation on ideal norms and its abstraction from real confrontations with an orientation toward contexts of action and a rigorous concentration on the importance of political power. It is fascinating to see the result: a political philosophy that is once again a kind of intel...

The world is never going to make complete sense to us, yet we find that conclusion almost impossible to accept. Can we live, and feel at home, in a world composed at best of incompatible fragments of meaning?This is the theme that runs through this collection of essays by Raymond Geuss. Drawing on a characteristically wide range of insights from moral and political philosophy, history, and aesthetics, he addresses topics such as knowledge (of ...

Die zeitgenössische politische Philosophie ist selbstgefällig geworden. Sie missachtet ihre eigenen Entstehungs- und Verwertungsbedingungen und verkennt so ihre Rolle im normativ umkämpften Feld des Politischen. Geuss beschreibt, welche Aufgaben die politische Philosophie wahrnehmen muss, um in der Balance zwischen normativen Denkmodellen und der Analyse der Wirklichkeit den globalen Fragestellungen unserer Zeit angemessen begegnen zu können.

Ende der 1980er Jahre schloss nördlich von Philadelphia das Stahlwerk seine Tore, in dem Raymond Geuss' Vater lange Zeit gearbeitet hatte. Sein Onkel, ein Landwirt in Indiana, brauchte bald einen zweiten Job, um seinen Lebensunterhalt bestreiten zu können. Auch anhand seiner Familiengeschichte zeigt der Philosoph in seinem neuen Buch, dass Arbeit, wie wir sie in westlichen Gesellschaften kannten, verschwindet. Automatisierung und Outsourcing h...

»Schlussendlich müssen wir entscheiden, welche Art von Menschen wir sein möchten, als Individuen ebenso wie als Kollektiv. Die Philosophie kann dabei eine Rolle spielen, aber wir sollten darüber hinaus auf Ressourcen zurückgreifen, die breiter sind als diejenigen, die die Philosophie zur Verfügung stellen kann.« Für die meisten Menschen im »Westen« ist der Liberalismus zu einer Gegebenheit quasinatürlicher Art geworden, zu einem auf Dauer g...

Raymond Geuss is a critic of liberalism, a politics so pervasive in the West that it goes unnoticed. His attention sharpened by his own unorthodox intellectual journey, Geuss locates what we fail to see in the status quo: its shallowness and futility. Rejecting both authoritarian horror and liberal complacency, Geuss looks to genuinely new ideas.

Is work as we know it disappearing? And if so why should we care? These and other questions are explored by Raymond Geuss in this compact but sweeping survey which integrates conceptual analysis, historical reflection, autobiography and social commentary.

A history of philosophy in twelve thinkers...The whole performance combines polyglot philological rigor with supple intellectual sympathy, and it is all presented...in a spirit of fun." -Times Literary Supplement "If one of philosophy's crucial tasks is to snap us out of complacency and re-frame the parameters of debate, then there is always scope for a roll call of practitioners who have particularly enjoyed inspiring the 'moment when the gea...

Philosophers-professionals and the armchair variety-are given to defending comprehensive world views. Raymond Geuss, one of the most celebrated thinkers of our time, dispenses with this ambition for intellectual unity. Ranging across the history of art and ideas, Geuss argues for flexibility, doubt, and the accommodation of unresolved complexity.

For Raymond Geuss, philosophers' attempts to bypass normal ways of thinking¿to point out that the question being asked is itself misguided¿represents philosophy at its best. By provoking people to think differently, philosophers make clear that we are not fated to live within the stifling systems of thought we inherit. We can change the subject.

One of political philosophy¿s most trenchant and inventive critics challenges the field¿s normative turn, arguing that the study of politics should focus on real politics, where normative judgments arise from concrete configurations of power. Raymond Geuss shows how this can be done without succumbing to a toxic relativism or abandoning utopianism.

Für die politische Theorie und Praxis ist keine andere Unterscheidung so wichtig wie diejenige zwischen »öffentlich« und »privat«. Gerade heute, wo wir im weltweiten Datenverkehr »Spuren« hinterlassen und unsere Bewegungen im öffentlichen Raum überwacht werden, ist ein Schutz der Privatsphäre durch die Politik unerlässlich. Doch wo verläuft die Grenze zwischen »öffentlich« und »privat«? Lassen sich beide Sphären so problemlos differenzieren, w...
