[…] Overall, [it] offers the best recent treatment in English of Suárez’s political thought.”David Lantigua, University of Notre Dame. In: Theological Studies, Vol. 81, No. 1 (2020), pp. 244–255.“The articles give a remarkable overview of recent tendencies in the interpretation of this Jesuit thinker [and] offer valuable contributions to further illuminate the various traditions that shaped early modernity.”Bernhard Knorn, Philosophisch-Theologische Hochschule Sankt Georgen.
