Reviews

Global Challenges for Leviathan offers a bold and innovative approach to two of the most serious problems we face today: global warming and nuclear war. By bringing the insights of political philosophy to bear on these global policy issues, Furio Cerutti has accomplished a real tour de force. This is a book of tremendous erudition, which shows how political philosophy can lend insight into the most serious of contemporary policy problems.--Vivien Schmidt


Furio Cerutti's book Global Challenges for Leviathan is a challenge to every intellectual who seeks not only to understand global problems, but also to contribute to their solution.--Volker Gerhardt
