Book Description:
|
This book provides a comprehensive, systematic theory of moral responsibility. Fischer and Ravizza explore the conditions under which individuals are morally responsible for actions, omissions, consequences, and emotions. The authors go on to offer a sustained defense of the thesis that moral responsibility is compatible with causal determinism. This major study will interest moral philosophers, legal theorists, and those in religious studies concerned with the issue of moral responsibility.
