Recenzii
“This book provides a clear, careful account of the various ways humans can be complicit in and therefore morally accountable for actions that they contribute to even though others may be the principal agents. Although the book is grounded in the account of complicity given by Thomas Aquinas, it also engages contemporary literature on the subject and finishes with an account of the ways this moral concept intersects with American legal principles. The book can be read with profit by philosophers and nonphilosophers alike, and it sheds new light on such notions as collective responsibility and guilt. This is a first-rate contribution to contemporary moral philosophy.” —C. Stephen Evans, University Professor of Philosophy and Humanities, Baylor University
“With characteristic clarity and insight, Gregory Mellema cautiously explores the concept of complicity and charts its connections to related moral concepts. His discussion is precise but accessible, and also addresses practical questions like how to avoid becoming complicit in wrongdoing.” —Scott A. Davison, Morehead State University
“Complicity and Moral Accountability is another excellent book from Gregory Mellema. His well-selected examples illustrate his clear and penetrating analyses of types of complicity and degrees of moral responsibility. Anyone interested in such timely issues as the difference between enabling harm, facilitating harm, and condoning harm (and how these relate to legal categories such as aiding and abetting), or between what we may morally expect from others and what they are morally obliged to give us, will appreciate this carefully nuanced and historically informed scholarship.” —Edward Langerak, St. Olaf College
“Gregory Mellema’s short and lively book on the ethics of complicity, while decidedly a work of analytical philosophy, is ‘aimed at an audience that includes nonphilosophers’. . . . I found much to inspire and intrigue as well as to provoke in these passages, as indeed in the whole of the book.” —Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
