| Contents |
The role of causation in moral and legal responsibility -- Presuppositions about the nature of causation by legal doctrines -- The first blind alley : the attempt to replace proximate causation with culpability as a prerequisite for legal liability -- The legal presupposition of there being 'intervening causes' -- The metaphysics of causal relata -- The metaphysics of the causal relation. |
| Summary |
The concept of causation is crucial to ascribing moral and legal responsibility for events. Yet the precise relationship between causation and responsibility remains unclear. This book clarifies that relationship by looking at accounts of causation in metaphysics, and a critique of the confusion in legal doctrine. |
