Perhaps more than any other scholar, Michael Moore has argued that
there are deep and necessary connections between metaphysics,
morality, and law. Moore has developed every contour of a theory of
criminal law, from philosophy of action to a theory of causation.
Indeed, not only is he the central figure in retributive punishment
but his moral realist position places him at the center of many
jurisprudential debates. Comprised of essays by leading scholars,
this volume discusses and challenges the work of Michael Moore from
one or more of the areas where he has made a lasting contribution,
namely, law, morality, metaphysics, psychiatry, and neuroscience.
The volume begins with a riveting contribution by Heidi Hurd,
wherein she takes an unadorned and unabashed look at the man behind
this monumental body of work, full of both triumphs and sadness. A
number of essays focus on Moore's view of the purpose and
justification of the criminal law, specifically his endorsement of
retributivism and legal moralism. The book then addresses Moore's
work in the various aspects of the general part of the criminal
law, including Moore's position on how to understand criminal acts
for double jeopardy purposes, Moore's claim that accomplice
liability is superfluous, and Moore's views about the culpability
of negligence, as well as the relationship between that view and
proximate causation. Furthermore, the subject of defenses in
criminal law is addressed, including self-defense, and also the
intersection of psychiatry, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and
the criminal law. Also discussed are features of morality, and
Moore's work in general jurisprudence. Finally, Moore concludes the
volume with an essay that defends and delineates the features of
his views.
