According to its simplest definition, supererogation means freely
and intentionally doing good beyond the requirements of duty. A
more complex definition incorporates the responses of third
parties: the supererogatory act is one that is praiseworthy if
performed, but not blameworthy if omitted, as long as one does
one's duty. This collection of essays, based on papers delivered at
the Royal Institute of Philosophy's Annual Conference in Dublin in
June 2014, explores a broad range of philosophical problems that
stem from various definitions of supererogation. How can something
be good and yet not required? How relevant is the agent's
motivation to our assessment of that agent's sacrifice? What is the
difference between supererogation and virtue? Is supererogation
essential to friendship and love? Do all of us have the genuine
capacity to be saints and heroes?
