Review quote
"The essays in this collection are of a high scholarly quality and are a good representation of the development and directions of Wilson's work." * Library Journal * "Margaret Wilson was the leading historian of early modern philosophy in the English-speaking world. Her work is distinguished by fierce intelligence, a fine ear for textual nuance, a passion for clarity, and close critical attention to the work of others. This rich collection of important papers will be studied eagerly by a wide audience."-Kenneth Winkler, Wellesley College "The work of Margaret Wilson, widely regarded for several decades as the foremost scholar of early modern philosophy, has shaped the field and raised its standards. Her papers are more than required reading; they provoked-and continue to provoke-serious and active engagement. Bringing together the substance of Wilson's scholarly achievement, this is an extremely significant collection."-John Carriero, University of California, Los Angeles
