This volume contains the collected papers of Stephen J. White (1983-2021), in which he develops a comprehensive view of responsibility. White argues for a view of what it is to be responsible and deploys this conception to illuminate the notions of autonomy, coercion, shared reasoning, and practical reasoning.

Stephen J. White (1983-2021) was developing a comprehensive view of responsibility and its limits when his life was tragically cut short. This volume contains his collected papers. White's view of responsibility spans across ethics, action theory, and interpersonal epistemology. Its core idea is that to be responsible for doing or believing something is to be answerable for why one has done it or why one believes it, and to be responsible for a state of affairs is to be answerable for why things are that way, rather than some other way. White deploys this conception of responsibility to illuminate the notions of autonomy, coercion, shared reasoning, self-prediction, doxastic wronging, and peer disagreement. He also investigates the nature of practical reasoning: he argues against a production-oriented conception of practical reasoning, delineates the scope of transmission principles in means-ends reasoning, and identifies a limited for self-prediction in practical reasoning that is subject to an anti-opportunism constraint. The papers form the outline of a deep ethical outlook that takes seriously our personal and collective responsibilities and yet leaves room for personal autonomy both in thought and in action.

This book is an attempt to provide a philosophical answer to the simple question, "What is the law?" as well as address the various debates this question has spawned. Along the way, it develops a unique position within analytic jurisprudence by carefully distinguishing between a theory of the nature of a legal system and a theory of the nature of legal content (that is, of individual laws). Finally, it applies the framework established in the first part of the book to two substantive areas within legal theory: legal reasoning and international legal systems.The result is a unique introduction to the philosophy of law, one that presents and tests a theory of analytic jurisprudence, while it introduces students and others to this sub-field of philosophy. It explains and clarifies for students the views of the most significant scholars in the philosophy of law—those of H.L.A. Hart, Hans Kelsen, Joseph Raz, Ronald Dworkin, and John Finnis—and offers a critique of each. This approach should appeal to all types of philosophers--students and scholars alike--who are wary of wading into the field of legal theory as well as philosophers of law who wouldn’t find useful or interesting a mere survey of the field.

A Philosophical Inquiry

The Nature of Law

This book introduces students and researchers to the philosophical issues at play in the growing field of Bayesian epistemology. It focuses not on how to do particular calculations but instead on the philosophical foundations at the convergence of belief and mathematical representation. Its central questions are: What is the nature of quantifying belief? What is the source of its norms? How is it reasonable to represent belief numerically? Accessible to those without any mathematical background, this book will become a much used classic in the field.

Written in an engaging style for undergraduate students and general readers, Environmental Justice as Environmental Ethics: An Introduction is a new kind of primer to the study of moral problems and the natural world. It takes as its starting point the increasing awareness among researchers, activists, and others that the key ethical issues related to the use of the environment are questions of justice. It then provides a framework for systematically understanding environmental justice, exploring sustainable development, consumption, the distribution of natural resources, environmental racism, ecofeminism, and the anti-toxic movement, among other issues. The book reaches beyond the usual concerns of moral theory to engage with environmental issues where most readers find them on the ground. The result is a new kind of introduction to environmental ethics-foregrounding the importance of environmental justice and engaging students by illuminating those topics they find the most compelling, important, and relevant to their daily lives. Included in the text are teaching tools, like short descriptions of longer arguments discussed elsewhere, tips for detecting problematic reasoning, questions at the end of each chapter, and a bibliography of prominent and useful literature. A Companion Website provides links to key documents, important interviews, and videos that illuminate key parts of the book

Epistemology of Modality

ORIGINAL SIN opens with Kathryn Paige Harden taking LSD with her boyfriend in the West Texas desert, precipitating an experience in which he is unable to escape from the sense that he alone is responsible for an apocalyptic event, despite the fact that the event was impossible to avoid. Using this idea - of being born into sin, the eternal human paradox of free will versus destiny, sharpened to a razor edge by contemporary genetics - Harden explores some of the most important questions in philosophy: How are we to take responsibility for the individuals we become in light of what we know about behavioural genetics? We are not responsible for our genomes, but where does that leave us in respect of justice and punishment? If we possess a predisposition toward violence, does that make such behaviour any less egregious? If we can't help being attracted to certain people, in what sense can we be said to choose a mate or partner? In light of what we know about biology, how should we treat one another, and how can we use policies and social intervention to create a society in which all of us flourish? Beautifully written, deeply literate, autobiographically daring and informed by her own research on the cutting edge of behavioural genetics, this is a profoundly original work of literary non-fiction that promises to take us on a wild intellectual journey - and stay with us long after we turn the final page.

Routledge Innovations in Political Theory

Combining rigorous theoretical debate with a set of articles exploring Ernesto Laclau's thinking of politics, leading international scholars of contemporary radical theory demonstrate the relevance of Laclau's work to conceptualizing the Political and politics. They critically assess Laclau's theoretical corpus over the past forty years, and evaluate the relevance of key post-Marxist concepts for the analysis of contemporary politics, including the Greek debt crisis, the Occupy movement and contemporary capitalism.

Combining rigorous theoretical debate with a set of articles exploring Ernesto Laclau’s thinking of politics, leading international scholars of contemporary radical theory demonstrate the relevance of Laclau’s work to conceptualizing the Political and politics. <ul> <li>Part 1 situates Laclau’s conceptualisation of the political in the past four decades, both before and after the publication of Hegemony and Socialist Strategy. In particular it reviews Laclau’s critique of Marx and Marxism, in order to explore questions not addressed at the time. </li> </ul><ul> <li>Part 2 addresses Laclau’s work on Rhetoric and Affect developed in some detail over the past decade. These chapters emphasise the centrality of affect and rhetoric to Laclau’s conceptualisation of hegemony, thinking this in relation to the importance of rhetoric to neo-liberal politics, and arguing that rhetorical tropes are central to any thinking of the political.</li> </ul><ul> <li>Part 3 positions Laclau’s work in relation to Contemporary Political theory marking his distance and debt from/to Althussser, Schmitt and Wittgenstein respectively. </li> </ul><ul> <li>Part 4 explores Laclau’s account of Radical Democracy in relation to contemporary political concerns. Authors address the recent financial crisis; debt in relation to Greek and European politics; the analysis of contemporary capitalism; the politics of the Occupy movement and Latin American populism.</li> </ul>
