Under what conditions are people responsible for their choices and
the outcomes of those choices? How could such conditions be
fostered by liberal societies? Should what people are due as a
matter of justice depend on what they are responsible for? For
example, how far should healthcare provision depend on patients'
past choices? What values would be realized and which hampered by
making justice sensitive to responsibility? Would it give people
what they deserve? Would it advance or hinder equality? The
explosion of philosophical interest in such questions has been
fuelled by increased focus on individual responsibility in
political debates. Political philosophers, especially egalitarians,
have responded to such developments by attempting to map out the
proper place for responsibility in theories of justice.
Responsibility and Distributive Justice both reflects on these
recent developments in normative political theory and moves the
debate forwards. Written by established experts in the field and
emerging scholars, it contains essays previously unpublished in
academic books or journals. It will be of interest to researchers
and students in political and moral philosophy.
