Moral Responsibility and the Problem of Many Hands

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

When many people are involved in an activity, it is often difficult, if not impossible, to pinpoint who is morally responsible for what-the 'problem of many hands.' This volume provides an in-depth philosophical analysis of this phenomenon, distinguishing between different normative meanings of responsibility. The authors build on the relevant philosophical literature and take into account the relationship, and possible tension, between individual and collective responsibility. This systematic inquiry into the problem of many hands pertains to discussions about moral responsibility in a variety of applied settings.
