Kritik
"The book walks the well-known tightrope which characterises discussions about children's right to protection ... a strength of this book is that it achieves a genuine sense of child centredness with the child's well-being and well-becoming always at the forefront of the discussion. ... I found this book engaging and accessible ... offers a very useful perspective for students and practitioners in a broad range of settings." (Elsie Whittington, Children & Society, 2018)





"The relevance of the topics, together with honest, accurate, and original ways to address them, make this book appealing reading for those interested in body ethics and politics, philosophy of childhood, social justice, and policy-making." (Rosana Trivino Caballero, Journal of Applied Philosophy, September, 2017)
"Austrian philosophers Graf and Schweiger provide a justice-based ethical evaluation of three areas they identify as serious threats to children's 'body integrity' in affluent societies: eating, sexuality, and violence. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals." (K. E. Murphy, Choice, Vol. 54 (10), June, 2017)mehr
