Recenzii

"An insightful book that challenges the widespread claim that Hobbesian subjects obey the sovereign out of fear of punishment. Instead, Michael Byron convincingly develops the idea that for Hobbes good subjects obey the law 'sincerely from the heart'. An important contribution to the philosophical literature on Hobbes's political theory." - Luciano Venezia, National University of Quilmes, Argentina
