• John Lewis writes in a review of the latter version in the online Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 22 December 2003, that ‘Hansen’s seven uses of eleutheria and eleutheros are contextualised with the positive and negative senses of freedom in Isaiah Berlin and Benjamin Constant (pp. 173–5). This demonstrates the complexity involved in grasping abstract political concepts, and provides a warning not to take a correspondence between the ancient and the modern for granted.’
