"This volume special is that it has contributors from different cultural and philosophical backgrounds. ... I hope that readers can see that this anthology is very rich both in the sense of containing comparative perspectives ... and in the sense that there are actually dialogues among its contributors. These interesting philosophical exercises can surely help readers to reflect not only on ethical implications of the use of sex robots, but also on issues in applied ethics in general." (Tongdong Bai, Dao, Vol. 22 (1), 2023)
