Description
Outside Ethics brings together some of the most important and provocative works by Raymond Geuss, a leading philosopher known for his creative approach to ethics and politics. In this collection of essays, Geuss seeks to expand the scope of contemporary moral and political philosophy by challenging a particular way of thinking about what is important in human life.
Geuss explores various human phenomena that do not fit easily into traditional categories, such as poetry, art, religion, and certain kinds of history and social criticism. He examines themes including freedom, virtue, the good life, and happiness, as well as the relation between suffering and knowledge, the nature of religion, and the role of history in giving us critical distances from existing identities.
The book concludes by looking at what it is for a human life to be incomplete or unsatisfactory, seeking a place outside conventional ethics. This collection offers a unique perspective on ethics and politics, making it an important work for anyone interested in these subjects.
