Reviews

'… it seems clear that Hobbes and the Law succeeds in illuminating the breadth and depth of Hobbes' legal theory and at the same time succeeds in bringing to light the variety of different possible understandings of it. It thus amounts to a highly valuable contribution to Hobbes scholarship.' David Undersrud, The Cambridge Law Journal 'All in all, the volume offers a good overview of some important topics in Hobbes's legal philosophy. Many of the chapters are of high quality and make real contributions to scholarship. This is especially true, in my view, of the more historically-oriented chapters. Add the fact that several contributors present mutually conflicting interpretations and the picture arising from this volume is one of an on-going and fertile debate.' Johan Olsthoorn, Tijdschrift voor Filosofie 'Hobbes and the Law is an important contribution to Hobbes studies and is to be roundly recommended.' Susanne Sreedhar, Ethics
