Raymond Geuss is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge. His books include Seeing Double, Not Thinking Like a Liberal, Changing the Subject, Reality and Its Dreams, Who Needs a World View?, and The Idea of a Critical Theory.

"Raymond Geuss is profoundly disappointed by what academic philosophy has become. These historically rich, provocative and consistently deep essays stake out a different path, one that aspires to reconnect philosophy to actual human struggle. Tracks in Chaos forwards a critical theory devoid of illusions, animated throughout by a subterranean vein of hope."Espen Hammer, Temple University"Nobody on the contemporary scene better embodies the ethos of critical theory than Raymond Geuss, and this latest volume brings his long-standing debate with traditional philosophy and its quest for foundations to a new pitch of intensity. Indispensable."Jacob McNulty, Yale University
