In this collection of essays, Raymond Geuss challenges the Enlightenment assumption that the world is inherently rational and fully intelligible to human inquiry. He explores the limits of philosophical systems, arguing that our desire for absolute clarity often obscures the complex, contingent nature of human existence.
