The essays in this volume address questions about responsibility
that arise in moral philosophy and legal theory. Some analyse
different theories of causality, asking which theory offers the
best account of human agency and the most satisfactory resolution
of troubling controversies about free will and determinism. Some
essays look at responsibility in the legal realm, seeking to
determine how the law should assign liability for negligence, or
whether the courts should allow defendants to offer excuses for
their wrongdoing or to claim some form of 'diminished
responsibility'. Other essays explore libertarian views about
political freedom and accountability, asking whether libertarian
positions on consent, contract law, and responsibility are
consistent, or whether restitution is superior to retribution or
deterrence as a basis for a theory of corrective justice. Still
others examine the notion of partial or divided responsibility, or
the relationship between responsibility and the emotions.
