Rezensionen

Raymond Geuss has produced a timely and major contribution to our understanding of the complex reality of work. The book skilfully opens up important new questions whilst thoughtfully re-engaging with the classics. It is also a beautifully written study in which the tortuous, uncertain yet unavoidable place which work takes in all our lives is delicately unpacked with the author's characteristic insightfulness and good humour.
