Rezensionen
"It is no understatement to say that Hacker-Wright's collection lifts up critical engagement with Foot's naturalism to an entirely new level and therefore represents required reading for anyone who intends to work on it in the future." (Sascha Settegast, Zeitschrift für Ethik und Moralphilosophie, Vol. 2, 2019)
