Public Goods, Private Goods
Much political thinking today, particularly that influenced by liberalism, assumes a clear distinction between the public and the private, and holds that the correct understanding of this should weigh heavily in our attitude to human goods. It is, for instance, widely held that the state may address human action in the "public" realm but not in the "private." In Public...Paperback$7700Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Not Thinking like a Liberal
In a compelling meditation on the ideas that shape our lives, one of the world's most provocative and creative philosophers explains how his eccentric early years influenced his lifelong critique of liberalism. Liberalism is so amorphous and pervasive that for most people in the West it is background noise, the natural state of affairs. But there are nooks and crannies...Paperback$4799Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
Changing the Subject
Ask a question, and it is reasonable to expect an answer or a confession of ignorance. But a philosopher may defy expectations. Confronted by a standard question arising from a normal way of viewing the world, a philosopher may reply that the question is misguided, that to continue asking it is, at the extreme, to get trapped in a delusive...Paperback$7300Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 2-3 weeks -
Reality and Its Dreams
Raymond Geuss is one of the most inventive and distinctive voices in contemporary political philosophy and a trenchant critic of the field's dominant assumptions. In Reality and Its Dreams, he challenges the "normative turn" in political philosophy—the idea that the right approach to politics is to start from thinking abstractly about our own normative views and then, when they have...Hardback$8599Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
Philosophy and Real Politics
Many contemporary political thinkers are gripped by the belief that their task is to develop an ideal theory of rights or justice for guiding and judging political actions. But in Philosophy and Real Politics, Raymond Geuss argues that philosophers should first try to understand why real political actors behave as they actually do. Far from being applied ethics, politics is...Paperback$3499Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Who Needs a World View?
One of the world's most provocative philosophers attacks the obsession with comprehensive intellectual systems—the perceived need for a world view. We live in a unitary cosmos created and cared for in all its details by a benevolent god. That, for centuries, was the starting point for much philosophical and religious thinking in the West. The task was to accommodate ourselves...Hardback$7599Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
Seeing Double
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...Paperback$3799Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
