Series Statement:
Topics in contemporary philosophy
Content:
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.
Note:
"A Bradford book."
