Book Synopsis
One of political philosophy’s most trenchant and inventive critics challenges the field’s normative turn, arguing that the study of politics should focus on real politics, where normative judgments arise from concrete configurations of power. Raymond Geuss shows how this can be done without succumbing to a toxic relativism or abandoning utopianism.

Trade Review
These essays are exhilarating evidence of their author’s wide, thoughtful, and sharply perceptive reading of the signs and signals of our culture. -- Hans Sluga, University of California, Berkeley
