Opis

The essays in this volume open up reflection on the implications of social inequality for theorizing about moral responsibility. Collectively, they focus attention on the relevance of the social context, and of structural and epistemic injustice, stereotyping and implicit bias, for critically analyzing our moral responsibility practices.

Recenzje

The book will be of interest to those engaging with Strawsonian accounts of moral responsibility, but also to philosophers interested in forward-looking justifications of our moral responsibility practices, as well as those working on social oppression and injustice, implicit bias, and feminism. The range of topics is wide, and papers vary from ones that are of general interest to ones which tackle highly specialised problems within the recent literature on moral responsibility.
