| This is certainly entertaining and informative, but in the end poorly conceived and executed. The writing is almost at a 'For Dummies' level, and I found myself becoming increasingly irritated in particular by this weird tic Healey has for beating th ...more | |

| An absolutely dreadful book, sloppily written and riddled with errors. It reads as though it was written in a stream of consciousness over a few weeks, and was published without proper proofreading or editing. The argument is, meanwhile, terribly con ...more | |

| A very good introduction for students to the subject matter which sets out a research agenda but does not quite resolve into a convincing argument or conclusion. | |

| This is not a book to read for those unfamiliar with Hobbes, of course, and it is highly beneficial if one is also familiar with the themes of Oakeshott's work. But it is essential reading in understanding both. At times Oakeshott can be accused of r ...more | |

| It is pointless to review a work like Leviathan in substantive terms - nobody chooses to read it because of its average star rating on Goodreads. But one can review editions, and this is a truly excellent one. The spellings are standardised so as to ...more | |
