Morality, Culture, and History cover

A collection of essays on ethics, aesthetics, and the philosophy of history.

Geuss analyzes difficult philosophical ideas with great clarity; this feature is very much in evidence in this new collection of essays on a variety of topics in ethics, aesthetics, and the philosophy of history.Raymond Geuss 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. Two of the essays in the volume deal with central aspects of the philosophy of Nietzsche. The collection also contains an essay on the history of conceptions of 'culture' and one on the ethics of Ernst Tugendhat. The remaining three essays focus on questions in aesthetics. The volume will be of interest to students of modern philosophy, German intellectual and cultural history, and literary theory.

'In these essays, Geuss maintains just the right critical distance from the authors he discusses, while demonstrating intimate familiarity with their writings.' Richard Rorty, Stanford University
