Leading philosophers explore responsibility from a variety of
perspectives, including metaphysics, action theory, and philosophy
of law. Most philosophical explorations of responsibility discuss
the topic solely in terms of metaphysics and the "free will"
problem. By contrast, these essays by leading philosophers view
responsibility from a variety of perspectives-metaphysics, ethics,
action theory, and the philosophy of law. After a broad, framing
introduction by the volume's editors, the contributors consider
such subjects as responsibility as it relates to the "free will"
problem; the relation between responsibility and knowledge or
ignorance; the relation between causal and moral responsibility;
the difference, if any, between responsibility for actions and
responsibility for omissions; the metaphysical requirements for
making sense of "collective" responsibility; and the relation
between moral and legal responsibility. The contributors include
such distinguished authors as Alfred R. Mele, John Martin Fischer,
George Sher, and Frances Kamm, as well as important rising
scholars. Taken together, the essays in Action, Ethics, and
Responsibility offer a breadth of perspectives that is unmatched by
other treatments of the topic. Contributors Joseph Keim Campbell,
David Chan, Randolph Clarke, E.J. Coffman, John Martin Fischer,
