Rezensionen

"Hess's monograph is the pioneer. That gives it a deserved prominence. ... The Political Theory of Judith N. Shklar. Exile from Exile is a short, lucid introduction to the thought of a writer who was always something of an anomaly within American political theory. ... Andreas Hess has written a searching, meticulous book on what shklar said." (Peter Baehr, Society, January, 2016)
