Description
Raymond Geuss's Not Thinking Like a Liberal is a thought-provoking exploration of how his unconventional upbringing shaped his lifelong critique of liberalism. Born into a deeply Catholic family, Geuss was educated in an unusual boarding school that instilled in him a critical perspective on liberal capitalism. Geuss's intellectual journey took him to university in New York and West Germany, where he was exposed to diverse intellectual currents, including pragmatism and critical theory. He examines the rise and fall of major political theories over the past sixty years, highlighting the futility of abstracting lessons from context and seeking a universal view. This concise tour offers a nuanced understanding of how Geuss's unique perspective on liberalism has evolved over time, providing valuable insights into the complexities of modern politics.
