Recenzje

'… In the Shadow of Leviathan is an important work of scholarship from which no one can fail to learn a great deal. It is to be hoped that it will stimulate other scholars to rescue the relationship between Locke and Hobbes from a period of anomalous and wholly undeserved neglect.' Nicholas Jolley, Journal of the History of Philosophy
