Description

Raymond Geuss is the author of The Idea of a Critical Theory (CUP 1981), a now classic study of the philosophy of the Frankfurt School, and has been a distinctive contributor to the analysis and evaluation of German philosophy and to recent debates in ethics. In this new collection he treats a variety of topics in ethics, aesthetics, and the philosophy of history with special reference to the work of Hegel, Nietzsche, and Adorno.

Reviews

'In these essays, Geuss maintains just the right critical distance from the authors he discusses, while demonstrating intimate familiarity with their writings.' Richard Rorty, Stanford University
