Rezensionen

"DeGrazia is not only one of the US's leading moral philosophers but has also written as extensively and illuminatingly about guns as any living philosopher. As an introduction to the moral problem of gun violence that critically examines the arguments on both sides, this book could not be bettered."
Jeff McMahan, University of Oxford
