Reviews

Justin Champion, Department of History, Royal Holloway, University of London:

"With serious exemplars of state-of-the-art research, Clandestine Philosophy is a must-read for every scholar working on Enlightenment themes."

Sonja Lavaert, Department of Philosophy and Moral Sciences, Vrije Universiteit Brussel:

"The philosophical manuscript is an early modern literary genre par excellence, and its existence is itself the consequence of modern historical circumstances. Clandestine Philosophy contributes to a wider vision of this clandestine philosophical phenomenon."
