Recenzje

'… informed by an extensive knowledge of international law and … richly illustrated with historical and contemporary examples of armed resistance [Finlay's] theory is topical, erudite, and fills a gap in the existing philosophical literature on war. … In sum, Finlay offers a timely contribution to the philosophy of war by significantly advancing the theory of revolutionary war.' Hadassa Noorda, Law and Philosophy
