Synopsis
"Raymond Geuss is a major voice in contemporary philosophy, and this book will enhance his stature even further. Containing some of his best pieces so far, Outside Ethics reveals his impressive range as well as the depth of his thought. I came away truly impressed. As a philosophical essayist, Geuss has achieved the height of his art."—Hans Sluga, University of California, Berkeley, author of Heidegger's Crisis: Philosophy and Politics in Nazi Germany
"All the essays in this book are important, interesting, and provocative, and readers will appreciate having access to them between one set of covers. The pieces on freedom alone would justify a collection; so would the thoughtful ruminations on happiness."—Robert Pippin, University of Chicago, author of Henry James and Modern Moral Life
George Warnke - Ethics
Absorbing. . . . Fourteen essays of uncommon interest. . . . [They] exhibit a striking combination of careful analysis and utter iconoclasm. . . . Despite Geuss's justified claim to be on the outside looking in, he would be a wonderful guide for all those on the inside who want to come out.
