    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.

    • Geuss - a leading exponent of modern philosophy. The Idea of a Critical Theory has become a classic and has sold well over 12,000 copies in paperback
    • The clarity of exposition: a hallmark of Geuss's work
    • Appeal outside philosophy to students of Nietzsche and Adorno in political science, literary theory, and history of ideas
