Are psychopaths morally responsible? Should we argue with them?
Remonstrate with them, blame them, sometimes even praise them? Is
it worth trying to change them, or should we just try to prevent
them from causing harm? In this book, Jim Baxter aims to find
serious answers to these deep philosophical questions, drawing on
contemporary insights from psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience and
law. Moral Responsibility and the Psychopath is the first
sustained, book-length philosophical work on this important and
fascinating topic, and will be of deep interest and importance to
researchers in these fields – not to mention anyone who has had
to interact with a psychopath in their everyday life.
