Recenzii
Douglass has produced a learned and important study of Rousseau that should be of interest not only to Rousseau scholars, but to scholars of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century political and moral theory. He offers us a new way of situating Rousseau's thought and understanding his intentions.
an impressive and rewarding study. It is rare to find a book that so self-consciously and effectively employs the tools of both the historian of political thought and the political theorist.
Robin Douglass' Rousseau and Hobbes: Nature, Free Will, and the Passions is a thoughtful examination of the Hobbes-Rousseau connection in a new key. ... Douglass should be commended for his fresh approach to the immensely rewarding exercise of reading Rousseau alongside Hobbes.
All of this Douglass expounds with exquisite care, detail, and mastery of the sources. I recommend his study for the admirable ambition and complexity of its important project and for the learned, probing and lucid way it executes it.
