“The volume especially shines by putting Suárez into fruitful and critical conversations with other well-known thinkers, mostly English, of the modern political canon like Machiavelli, Hobbes, James I, Bentham, and Locke. […] 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. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 74, No. 2 (Summer 2021), pp. 679–681.
