Outside Ethics

More about the book

Challenging conventional moral and political philosophy, this collection of essays by Raymond Geuss critiques the dominant Western focus on individual preferences, knowledge, and action restrictions. Geuss argues for a broader understanding of what matters in human life, incorporating elements like poetry, art, religion, and social criticism that defy traditional ethical categories. By exploring these overlooked areas, the work invites readers to reconsider the boundaries of ethics and the complexities of human experience beyond mainstream thought.
