I believe that this volume can be rightly seen as a touchstone for future studies on Cockburn.' Emilio Maria De Tommaso, British Journal for the History of Philosophy'Ruth Boeker's monograph on Catharine Trotter Cockburn is very well constructed: accurate in its historical reconstruction and presentation of the intellectual contexts in which her reflections are situated, precise in its philological analysis, thorough in its examination of the primary literature, and convincing in its philosophical interpretation. For this reason [...] I believe that Boeker's work is indispensable for anyone wishing to engage in the study of Cockburn's thought.'
