Raymond Geuss, FBA (/ɡɔɪs/; born 1946) is an American political philosopher and scholar of 19th and 20th century European philosophy.

His students include former Southern Poverty Law Center president J. Richard Cohen, filmmaker Ethan Coen and Cornel West.

He has also co-edited two critical editions of works of Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy and Writings from the Early Notebooks.

Geuss has also published two collections of translations/adaptations of poetry from Ancient Greek, Latin and Old High German texts.

And, by inviting us to reconsider what we have hitherto taken for granted, he puts in question not just this or that particular philosophical thesis, but some of the larger projects in which we are engaged.
