Serie:
Topics in contemporary philosophy
Inhalt:
Most philosophical explorations of responsibility discuss the topic solely in terms of metaphysics and the 'free will' problem. By contrast, these essays by leading philosophers view responsibility from a variety of perspectives - metaphysics ethics, action theory, and the philosophy of law.
Anmerkung:
"A Bradford book."

"The essays in this volume derive from presentations given at the ninth annual Inland Northwest Philosophy Conference (INPC), held March 31-April 2, 2006 in Pullman, Washington and Moscow, Idaho"--Acknowledgments.
