Reviews

“The Ethics of Killing is a thoughtful, technical, and compelling argument from first principles that human life is inviolable … . Erk has sent into the arena of academic ethics a champion any brave contender will relish taking on. I do not think a better book on ethics has been written this century … its quality secures its place on reading lists of philosophy and ethics courses for many years to come.” (Toni Saad, The New Bioethics, October 25, 2023)
