Recenzii

An excellent resource, one that most historians of modern political thought and most contemporary political theorists will want to consult regularly.
Thomas Hobbes represents a turning point and a change of paradigm in the western political theory vis-à-vis the secular Aristotelian tradition of politics. The Hobbesian Moment has been the object of an important revival of studies in the last 30 years, notably in the Anglo-American world. The contributions of this volume draw an exhaustive map of the results of this recent research. The book is an impressive and original contribution to the contemporary Hobbesian scholarship illuminating all the important aspects of his extraordinary work.
A useful reference, with commentary, for upper-level courses on Hobbes and modern philosophy. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates.
