The essays in this volume address questions about responsibility that arise in
moral philosophy and legal theory. Some analyze different theories of causality
and human agency, scouting for satisfactory resolutions to the controversies of
free will and determinism, while some look at the problem of responsibility in
the legal realm. Others explore libertarian views about political freedom and
accountability, while still others examine the notion of partial or divided
responsibility, or the relationship between responsibility and the emotions.
