Justifying Blame: Why Free Will Matters and Why it Does Not: Value Inquiry Book Series / Studies in Applied Ethics, cartea 166

Autor Maureen Sie
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2004
This book shows why we can justify blaming people for their wrong actions even if free will turns out not to exist. Contrary to most contemporary thinking, we do this by focusing on the ordinary, everyday wrongs each of us commits, not on the extra-ordinary, “morally monstrous-like” crimes and weak-willed actions of some.
