Recenzje

Somos' study of the distinctive role of the category of the state of nature in transforming the political awareness and focusing the increasingly revolutionary purposes of America's leaders presents a fundamental challenge to current historiography of the Revolution. It also suggests an original and imaginative approach to capturing the dynamics of revolutionary ideology in the making. It is a book to reckon with."DLJohn Dunn, Professor of Political Theory (Emeritus), University of Cambridge
