Bøker av Raymond (University of Cambridge) Geuss

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.

Geuss analyzes difficult philosophical ideas with great clarity; this feature is very much in evidence in this new collection of essays on a variety of topics in ethics, aesthetics, and the philosophy of history.

The distinguished political philosopher Raymond Geuss examines critically the central topics in western political thought, including the state, authority, toleration, democracy, freedom and human rights. This is a profound and concise essay on the basic structure of contemporary politics, written throughout in a voice that is sceptical, engaged, and clear.
