Review of the hardback: 'Hunter's excellent book offers the first really convincing account of Thomasius' political thought in any language. It is a major contribution to our understanding of the early German Enlightenment and to the development of German political thought.' Joachim Whaley, The English Historical Review Ian Hunter's volume makes a compelling case for reading Thomasius in a very different way, one that better relates his work to the major historical forces of the age and that moves him much closer to the central concerns of modern historians...[This book] illuminated for me the mutual implication of religion, university, and state to which the literature often alludes. Hunter made the debates of the time intelligible, and he advanced what I found to be an original and convincing interpretation of Thomasius' work.
