Summary:

P.F. Strawson was one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century, and his 1962 paper 'Freedom and Resentment' is one of the most influential in modern moral philosophy, prompting responses across multiple disciplines, from psychology to sociology. This text closely reexamines Strawson's paper and concludes that his argument has been underestimated and misunderstood. Line by line, the book carefully untangles the complex strands of Strawson's ideas.
