Reviews

"Contributors seem to be engaging in an extended dialogue. . . . One can detect in the pages of this debate the outline of a more historically credible, and more theoretically challenging, figure four centuries after his birth."--Canadian Journal of Political Science"This book should quickly join the works of Brown, Macpherson, Oakeshott, Plamenatz, Skinner, and Warrender as a standard resource in Hobbes studies."--Choice

"This is a fine collection of critical essays that provide illuminating and novel interpretations of Hobbes. . . . It is a timely and very stimulating book . . . that will be useful to political scientists, historians, and philosophers."--Jeffrey Isaac, author of The Power of Marxist Theory: A Realist View"Well written and clearly argued. . . . First-rate scholarship throughout."--Thomas A. Spragens, author of The Irony of Liberal Reason
