摘要
This essay is a review of Raymond Geuss's book, Seeing Double. The review discusses the seven essays that comprise the book, which is concerned with the implications of the fact that the world never makes complete sense to us and that there are only fragments of meaning without any higher order or authority to make sense of the world. The book explores the consequences of abandoning the idea of a unity view of the world. The review essay discusses some of the issues around an alternative perspective that prioritizes plurality.
