Raymond Geuss is professor emeritus of philosophy at the University of Cambridge. His books include Politics and the Imagination and Philosophy and Real Politics (both Princeton).
This book leaves a lasting impression. Geuss is a great writer and a very thoughtful human being who has resisted quite valiantly the conventions of his discipline and his times. This is no `grim' outlook at all, but rather hopeful, and one can only hope that Geuss himself agrees. --Laurie M. Johnson, European Legacy In these 13 essays, well-known critical philosopher Geuss ranges over a very wide field of topics--politics, ethics, cultural formations, history, ancient literary and philosophical works, and criticism itself. . . . [S]tudents can read some of these essays with profit, such as the discussion of when obscurity of speech might be best. --Choice In A World Without Why, Raymond Geuss brings his caustic intelligence to many of themes and figures that have occupied his career. --Alex Sager, Marx & Philosophy Geuss is a unique voice in contemporary philosophy, and this book is ideal for anyone interested in intellectual history. --David Gordon, Library Journal
