A Theory of Moral Responsibility

Building Better Beings presents a new theory of moral responsibility. Beginning with a discussion of ordinary convictions about responsibility and free will and their implications for a philosophical theory, Manuel Vargas argues that no theory can do justice to all the things we want from a theory of free will and moral responsibility. He goes on to show how we can nevertheless justify our responsibility practices and provide a normatively and
naturalistically adequate account of responsible agency, blame, and desert. Building Better Beings provides a compelling and state-of-the-art defense of moral responsibility in the face of growing philosophical and
scientific skepticism about free will and moral responsibility.
