Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Introduction -- The NESS Account of Natural Causation: A Response to Criticisms / Wright, Richard W. -- The Concept of Causation in the Law / Puppe, Ingeborg -- Causal Overdetermination / Toepel, Friedrich -- Omissions as Causes - Genuine, Quasi, or not at All? / Birnbacher, Dieter / Hommen, David -- Making Causal Counterfactuals More Singular, and More Appropriate for Use in Law / Keil, Geert -- Moore on "the true metaphysics of causation" / Stepanians, Markus -- Events over Facts. Why Metaphysics Matters for Law / Hübl, Philipp -- With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility / Mumford, Stephen / Anjum, Rani Lill -- Explanation and Responsibility / Broadbent, Alex -- Intentions, Intentional Actions and Practical Knowledge / Kahmen, Benedikt -- The Problem of Consequential Waywardness: Between Internalism and Externalism about Intentional Agency / Mayr, Erasmus -- How to Understand the Problem of Moral Luck / Schmidt, Thomas -- Causation to Culpability: Why Imputation Matters / Aichele, Alexander -- Further Thoughts on Causation (and Related Topics) Prompted By Fifteen Critics / Moore, Michael S. -- Notes on Contributors -- Index
Summary: Due to its scope and depth, Moore's Causation and Responsibility is probably the most important publication in the philosophy of law since the publication of Hart's and Honoré's Causation in the Law in 1959. This volume offers, for the first time, a detailed exchange between legal and philosophical scholars over Moore's most recent work. In particular, it pioneers the dialogue between English-speaking and German philosophy of law on a broad range of pressing foundational questions concerning causation in the law. It thereby fulfills the need for a comprehensive, international and critical discussion of Moore's influential arguments. The 15 contributors to the proposed volume span the whole interdisciplinary field from law and morals to metaphysics, and the authors include distinguished criminal and tort lawyers, as well as prominent theoretical and practical philosophers from four nations. In addition, young researchers take brand-new approaches in the field. The collection is essential reading for anyone interested in legal and moral theory.
