Reviews

This is an outstanding collection of essays on the 'great thinkers' of the 'liberal tradition'. Introductory, yet also sophisticated, they should be of excellent use to both beginners and more advanced readers. Helena Rosenblatt, Professor of History, the Graduate Center, CUNY, USA Liberal Moments is unique in what it offers the reader. The range of authors, genres, disciplines, continents and countries covered is spectacular, as is the imaginativeness of the whole project. Written by distinguished and internationally renowned specialists in each case, the essays in the volume provide most valuable food for thought. Georgios Varouxakis, Professor of the History of Political Thought, Queen Mary University of London, UK
