Seeing Double

"This is a wonderful collection of essays covering a broad range of important topics. The title Seeing Double refers to a recurring theme in the book: the need for multiple perspectives. The essays all display Geuss's hallmark combination of originality, boldness, insight, clarity of argument, erudition, and stylistic elegance. It would be hard to praise this collection too strongly."
Michael N. Forster, Bonn University
 
"Geuss invites his readers to converse with an eccentric tradition of European thinkers who refused to indulge the belief in a single standpoint from which the world must make sense. His collection is an invitation to us to wean ourselves from optimism and to cultivate recognition of the plurality and conflict of our embodied, social, and world-dependent existence as a first step toward a liveable future."
