'King argues his thesis, both in general and in relation to individual thinkers, with considerable subtlety and insight, and no serious historian of ideas can afford to ignore its implications.' - Times Literary Supplement

'King provides a most substantive and enlightening introduction, guiding the reader through the various essays and reconstructing what is a most original version of the complex link between past and present ... the relevance of the collection in the present climate can hardly be exaggerated.' - History of Political Thought
