Reviews

"This is an original and extraordinarily refined work on a question that lies somewhere in the space between history and philosophy... The author handles with equal ease the range of sources, both modern and medieval. His extremely elegant organization of the material reflects, at a very advanced level, a sense of style commensurate with the sophistication of his thinking." - Maria Rosa Menocal, Yale University
