| Description: |
This is a collection of essays written by Moore which, when taken together, form a thorough examination of the theory of criminal responsibility. The range of topics covered lends the book a coherence and unity which is rare in assembled essays. Moore espouses a retributivist theory of punishment, and this viewpoint is a common thread throughout the book. This anti-utilitarian standpoint is a trend manifesting itself in all areas of moral, political and legalphilosophy, but Moore is one of the first to apply such attitudes so sytematically to criminal law theory. As such, this innovative, new book will be of great interest to all scholars in this field. |
| Synopsis: |
This is a collection of essays written by Moore which form a thorough examination of the theory of criminal responsibility. The author covers a wide range of topics, giving the book a coherence and unity which is rare in assembled essays. Perhaps the most significant feature of this book is Moore's espousal of a retributivist theory of punishment. This anti-utilitarian standpoint is a common thread throughout the book. It is also a trend which is currently manifesting itself in all areas of moral, political and legal philosophy, but Moore is one of the first to apply such attitudes so sytematically to criminal law theory. As such, this innovative, new book will be of great interest to all scholars in this field. |
