Placing Blame: A Theory of the Criminal Law de Michael S. Moore

Placing Blame: A Theory of the Criminal Law

Autor Michael S. Moore
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 iul 2010
This is a collection of essays written by Moore which form a thorough examination of the theory of criminal responsibility. The author covers a wide range of topics, giving the book a coherence and unity which is rare in assembled essays. Perhaps the most significant feature of this book is Moore's espousal of a retributivist theory of punishment. This anti-utilitarian standpoint is a common thread throughout the book. It is also a trend which is currently manifesting itself in all areas of moral, political and legal philosophy, but Moore is one of the first to apply such attitudes so systematically to criminal law theory. As such, this innovative, new book will be of great interest to all scholars in this field.

Recenzii

The high-point of Moore's exposition ... is a fine and psychologically penetrating defense of subjective moral institutions and emotions as 'heuristic indicators' of moral truths.
In an elegant and masterly introductory essay, laying out in order all the tasks of a theory of criminal law, he pleads that any 'deep theory' of the way law operates must take a moral point of view and be founded on moral institutions.
This book belongs on the shelves of every serious criminal law theorist and every research library in the world.
The book has four particular qualities which mark it out as a distinctive contribution to criminal law theory... its scope is remarkably broad. Furthermore, Moore brings an unusual combination of disciplinary perspectives to bear on the wide range of questions which he considers. Moore is also unusual in giving the emotions a central place in his theory of criminal law. One has to admire the originality of Moore's position. He is a trenchant anti-consequentialist in ethics who nonetheless provides a careful analysis of the proper role of consequential arguments in shaping criminal law.
... these are high-quality essays by a considerable figure, and should be read by anyone interested in criminal theory who has not done so already.
Much appreciation goes to Professor Moore for sharing his eloquent legal mind with us and our everlasting gratitude goes to the publisher, Oxford Univesrity Press, for bringing us this marvellous book in paperback....making this wonderful journey through the law accessible to students even.
