Product Information
Ask a question and it is reasonable to expect an answer or a confession of ignorance. But a philosopher may defy expectations. Confronted by a standard question arising from a normal way of viewing the world, a philosopher may reply that the question is misguided, that to continue asking it is, at the extreme, to get trapped in a delusive hall of mirrors. According to Raymond Geuss, this attempt to bypass or undercut conventional ways of thinking, to escape from the hall of mirrors, represents philosophy at its best and most characteristic. To illustrate, Geuss explores the ideas of twelve philosophers who broke dramatically with prevailing wisdom, from Socrates and Plato in the ancient world to Wittgenstein and Adorno in our own. The result is a striking account of some of the most innovative and important philosophers in Western history and an indirect manifesto for how to pursue philosophy today. Geuss cautions that philosophers' attempts to break from convention do not necessarily make the world a better place. Montaigne's ideas may have been benign, but the fate of the views developed by, for instance, Augustine, Hobbes, and Nietzsche has been more varied. But in the act of provoking people to think differently, philosophers make clear that we are not fated to live within the often stifling systems of thought that we inherit. We can change the subject. A work of exceptional range, power, and originality, Changing the Subject manifests the precise virtues of philosophy that it identifies and defends.

Reviews
Changing the Subject is the fruit of a long lifetime mastering the subject, and so demonstrates much more than an impressive breadth of scholarship: the work's structure, style, and often trenchant critical evaluations give expression to a genuinely distinctive and distinguished view of the world., Geuss is something like the consummate teacher, his analyses navigable and crystal, his guidance on point., If one of philosophy's crucial tasks is to snap us out of complacency and re-frame the parameters of debate, then there is always scope for a roll call of practitioners who have particularly enjoyed inspiring the 'moment when the gears shift.' Raymond Geuss defines his splendid book as an 'intellectually relaxed, essayistic introduction' to the rule-benders. Big names predominate--Montaigne, Hobbes, Hegel, Nietzsche, et al--but Geuss, who wears his expansive learning lightly, has interesting things to say about them all., Because this book is the fruit of a long lifetime mastering the subject, its structure, style, and often trenchant critical evaluations give expression to a genuinely distinguished and distinctive view of the world. It is a rather unconventional introduction to its field; but that very unconventionality makes it a far more valuable guide to what philosophy really demands and offers than many of its more pedestrian competitors., Exceptionally engaging...All of the book's chapters exhibit an unusually deep understanding of the thinkers they cover. Like a good teacher of philosophy, Geuss goes straight to what he takes to be the heart of the systems of thought he means to explain, without getting lost in scholarly details...Geuss has a remarkable knack for putting even familiar thinkers in a new light...A perfect remedy for harried professional philosophers...[who] sometimes forget why they fell in love with philosophy in the first place., Geuss is an astute reader and conveys with remarkable clarity, elegance, and wit some of the essential ideas of the authors whose work he is discussing. His thinking is always fresh and provocative, and arises out of a deep engagement with these philosophers.
