Description
Exploring the philosophy of action, this collection of essays by leading philosophers covers a wide range of topics, from the nature of actions to their role in criminal law.
The contributors examine how concepts such as act, agent, cause and event are related, and consider issues like self-knowledge, emotion, autonomy and freedom in human life. A major essay also addresses one of the most significant questions in the philosophy of law: whether a single event or two can be said to have occurred.
