This book offers a much needed overview of the neglected notion of
responsibility. Instead of offering vague talk about "individual
responsibility" or "corporate responsibility," Daryl Koehn examines
in detail four accounts of responsibility, taking care to specify
what responsibility does and does not mean in each account. She
argues for a return to the ancient concept of Socratic dialogical
responsibility, a concept that avoids many of the problems inherent
in the other accounts. After examining the Anglo-American criminal
legal system's treatment of responsibility as intentional agency,
she critiques Hans Jonas's concept of responsibility as ontological
care and Hannah Arendt's notion of communicative responsibility.
She provides a careful analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of
each approach to responsibility. The final chapter makes the case
for Socratic dialogical responsibility. Dialogical responsibility
has many strengths in its own right and avoids the major pitfalls
of the other notions of responsibility examined in the book. It
serves as an eminently practical way to hold ourselves responsible
for our actions and speech. In addition, dialogical responsibility
alone qualifies as a virtue integral to the good life.
