Recenzje

'… a comprehensive discussion of the metaphysical and moral aspects of death, and death's logical precursor, killing. Steven Luper is a major contributor to this fast-growing area of contemporary philosophy and he gives us a panoramic sweep of current literature, while making some important arguments of his own along the way.'
