Summary:

This volume includes several new papers representing new work being done in the fields of agency and responsibility, broadly construed. While having a home base in moral philosophy, work on agency and responsibility crosses many disciplinary boundaries, including legal theory, developmental and social psychology, anthropology, metaphysics, philosophy of law, neuropsychology, etc. The essays discuss many topics in these arenas, including free will, the phenomenology of agency, moral luck, desert, moral and criminal responsibility, personal integrity, communal norms, reactive emotions, and more.
