Recenzje

'Max Skjönsberg has situated the work of Catharine Macaulay within a significantly remapped domain of political thought, broadened not only to rectify the exclusion of women, but also … to include a critic of 'revolution principles' whose métier was primarily historical not philosophical.' London Review of Books
