Product Description
Review
[Geuss's] intention in Philosophy and Real Politics, his short, sharp new book, is . . . to introduce a note of realism into contemporary philosophical debates about justice, by force if necessary.
(Adam Kirsch City Journal )
A manifesto for a new political philosophy. . . . Geuss's realist proposal brings forcefully to the contemporary political discussion the idea that philosophy is an engaged discipline, both in the sense of engagee, of directly speaking to the political issues of the day, and in the sense of having its own historical cultural commitments firmly in view.
(Katerina Deligiorgi The Philosopher's Magazine )
Philosophy and Real Politics is an impressive and provocative essay on contemporary Anglo-American political philosophy theory.
(Christoph Konrath Law and Politics Book Review )
Review
In this new study, Raymond Geuss mobilizes the strength of analytical philosophy to subvert the theoretical premises of contemporary political philosophy. He replaces its fixation on ideal norms and its abstraction from real confrontations with an orientation toward contexts of action and a rigorous concentration on the importance of political power. It is fascinating to see the result: a political philosophy that is once again a kind of intellectual craft, historically situated and locally engaged.
(Axel Honneth, J. W. Goethe University, Frankfurt )
