"Oscar est mort parce que je l'ai regardé mourir, sans bouger. Il est mort étranglé par les cordes d'une balançoire." Ainsi commence ce court et intense roman qui nous raconte la dernière journée que passe Léonard, 17 ans, dans un camping des Landes écrasé de soleil. Cet acte irréparable, il ne se l'explique pas lui-même. Rester immobile, est-ce pareil que tuer ? Dans la panique, il enterre le corps sur la plage. Et c'est le lendemain, alors qu'il s'attend chaque instant à être découvert, qu'il rencontre une fille. Ce roman est l'histoire d'un adolescent étranger au monde qui l'entoure, un adolescent qui ne sait pas jouer le jeu, celui de la séduction, de la fête, des vacances, et qui s'oppose, passivement mais de toutes ses forces, à cette injonction au bonheur que déversent les haut-parleurs du camping."--Résumé de l'éditeur

The 1909 Companies Act was known as the “Transvaal Act”. After South Africa was established as a Union, each province had its own Companies Act. There is no indication that the 1909 Act was amended on provincial level. Later on, a new Act was written, namely the “1926 Companies Act”, and it was based upon the 1909 Act. Most South African textbooks cite only the 1926 and 1973 Companies Act, without any reference to the 1909 Act. This historic legislation is however relevant to fully understand the background to South African company law. Furthermore, the 1909 Act contains more than 26 definitions, such as: a special resolution, private company, debenture, director, share and prospectus. Most of these concepts are still relevant today, 110 years later.

This book empirically investigates the social practice of ascribing moral responsibility to others for the things they failed to do, and it discusses the philosophical relevance of this practice. In our everyday life, we often blame others for things they failed to do. For instance, we might blame our neighbour for not watering our plants during our vacation. Interestingly, the attribution of blame is typically accompanied by the attribution of causal responsibility. We do not only blame our neighbour for not watering our plants, but we do so because we believe that not watering the plants caused them to dry up and die. In this book, I investigate how we make moral and causal judgments about omissions. I discuss different philosophical perspectives on this matter, and I outline to what extent the actual social practice is in line with philosophical theories.
