Justifying Blame
Why Free Will Matters and Why it Does Not
Paperback Engels 2005 9789042017443Samenvatting
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.
