Editorial Reviews
L. Pearce Williams and John Stambaugh, American Scientist
"This work is one that every educated person should read and will read with pleasure."

Lorraine Daston, ISIS
"[A] lucid, learned study. . . . The core of the book is a sustained analysis of how the practitioners of Enlightenment human sciences, from Montesquieu to Adam Smith, Harley to Helvetius, laid the foundations for liberal and conservative political ideologies alike. . . . A study that bravely swims against the current of specialization and ever-less-general generalizations."
