TY - GEN T1 - Politics and the imagination A1 - Geuss, Raymond LA - English PP - Princeton, NJ PB - Princeton University Press YR - 2010 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_dda_ocn647874764 AB - In politics, utopians do not have a monopoly on imagination. Even the most conservative defenses of the status quo, Raymond Geuss argues, require imaginative acts of some kind. In this collection of recent essays, including his most overtly political writing yet, Geuss explores the role of imagination in politics, particularly how imaginative constructs interact with political reality. He uses decisions about the war in Iraq to explore the peculiar ways in which politicians can be deluded and citizens can misunderstand their leaders. He also examines critically what he sees as one of the most.
