This reissue was first published in 1978. Anthony Kenny, one of the
most distinguished philosophers in England, explores the notion of
responsibility and the precise place of the mental element in
criminal actions. Bringing the insights of recent philosophy of
mind to bear on contemporary developments in criminal law, he
writes with the general reader in mind, no specialist training in
philosophy being necessary to appreciate his argument.
Kenny shows that abstract distinctions drawn by analytic
philosophers are relevant to decisions in matters of life and
death, and illustrates the philosophical argument throughout by
reference to actual legal cases. The topics he covers are of wide
general interest and include: mens rea and mental health, strict
liability, freedom and determinism, duress and necessity,
intoxication and irresistible impulse, intention and purpose,
murder and rape, punishment and deterrence, witchcraft and
supernatural beliefs.
