Recenzje

"Modus Vivendi Liberalism is ambitious, thoughtfully organized, and challenging, constructing a consistent and well-defended narrative characterized by a high level of rigor, and providing a model of probing philosophical argumentation.... Modus Vivendi Liberalism as a whole provides a valuable contribution to existing literature, is a starting point for future interdisciplinary research, and should stimulate a great deal of significant debate and discussion. Modus Vivendi Liberalism defends a number of innovative theories, constructing a stimulating narrative, and makes a series of significant and well-constructed arguments."
