Reviews

'[Evrigenis'] command of the relevant texts and of their scholarly interpretations is unsurpassed, and he engages with both in subtle ways ... [His] book, complemented by fourteen full-page illustrations, is the best sustained treatment of Hobbes' concept of the state of nature and will be essential reading for Hobbes scholars, who will find his reasoning and conclusions challenging and thought-provoking.' A. P. Martinich, The American Historical Review
