Can we live, and feel at home, in a world composed at best of incompatible fragments of meaning?This is the theme that runs through this collection of essays by Raymond Geuss. Drawing on a characteristically wide range of insights from moral and political philosophy, history, and aesthetics, he addresses topics such as knowledge (of self, the world, and others), language, the visual and the auditory, authority, hope, and the success and failure of life projects. He argues that, to get by in our bewildering world, we must embrace the virtue of ‘double vision’: that is, immersing ourselves in and learning the ways of the culture surrounding us, even as we feel alienated from it. Together the essays explore some of the consequences of abandoning the idea of a unitary view of the world, while at the same time trying to avoid quietism.Seeing Double is a compelling collection of work by one of the world’s most versatile and creative philosophers.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 214mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 680gAuthor: Raymond GeussGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityItem Length: 140mmRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
