World without Why

In "World without Why," acclaimed philosopher Raymond Geuss challenges conventional ethical perspectives shaped by hopeful optimism. Published in 2016 by Princeton University Press, this thought-provoking paperback spans 288 pages, delving into the intricate relationship between human thought and the complexities of our existence. Geuss argues that wishful thinking has profoundly influenced ethical reasoning, leading many to believe that our chaotic world can ultimately be understood. By critically examining these assumptions, he presents a compelling case for reconsidering how we approach ethics in a seemingly indifferent universe. This book is a must-read for those interested in modern philosophy and the historical influences that shape our moral frameworks. Explore the depths of ethical thought with Geuss as your guide and discover a fresh perspective on the world we inhabit.
