Responsibility Collapses

Why Moral Responsibility is Impossible

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Our emotions, beliefs, and values assume that a person is responsible for what she thinks and does, and that this is a good thing. This book argues that this worldview is false. It provides arguments for this conclusion that build on the free will and responsibility literatures in original and insightful ways.
