<p><strong>'The book succeeds in striking a balance between the need for thorough and accurate development of a particular element in a philosopher's work, and the ability to engage the layman as well as the academic. The result is a versatility that captures the imagination and the interest of curious readers and researchers alike.'</strong> - <em> Salam Hawa, The Philosophers' Magazine</em></p>
