Description

Raymond Geuss's latest collection of essays explores the complexities of human existence in a world composed of incompatible fragments of meaning. Drawing on insights from moral and political philosophy, history, and aesthetics, he examines topics such as knowledge, language, authority, and the success and failure of life projects.

The author argues that embracing 'double vision' - immersing oneself in the culture surrounding us while feeling alienated from it - is a necessary virtue for navigating our bewildering world. This collection of essays delves into the consequences of abandoning the idea of a unitary view of the world, while avoiding quietism.

Through his characteristic versatility and creativity, Geuss offers a compelling exploration of how we can find meaning in a world that resists complete understanding. Seeing Double is a thought-provoking collection that invites readers to reflect on their place within it.
