Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Gerald F. Gaus was, before his death in 2020, the James E. Rogers Professor of Philosophy at the University of Arizona and an intellectual giant in the field of political philosophy. The author of ten books and more than 100 papers, he was best known for his work in the public reason tradition. An obituary collaboratively written by his colleagues and former students noted that Gaus was interested in teaching us about "the complexities of our social world, rather than looking for opportunities to reinforce our biased ways of understanding it."
