Reviews

"McCalla has a fine command of his subjects and writes clearly about their ideas, with the result that the reader not only gains valuable insight into French contributions to the emerging discipline of the history of religions, but also can see the intimate place that discussions about religion had in early nineteenth-century epistemological reflection."
