Review # 1 was written on 2007-11-29 00:00:00 Brian Gonsalves The first two chapters are pretty good. It's an interesting thesis that upbringings were homogeneous. And the data is interesting. But then the rest of the book is this insistence that they weren't reactionaries. It's supported by quotations from their reactionary philosophy. Then there's confusing legal analysis that seeks unrelated to the philosophy. Even on its own terms, this makes no sense. The author points to sharp divisions but insists it shows uniformity. Other than on race, that analysis is unconvincing.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-10-30 00:00:00 Christophe Duret College text outdated now. I kept it all these years and remember it kindly.
