"The philosophical commitment to moral responsibility seems unshakable. But, argues Bruce Waller, the philosophical belief in moral responsibility is much stronger than the philosophical arguments in favor of it. Philosophers have tried to make sense of moral responsibility for centuries, with mixed results. Most contemporary philosophers insist that even conclusive proof of determinism would not and should not result in doubts about moral responsibility. Many embrace compatibilist views, and propose an amazing variety of competing compatibilist arguments for saving moral responsibility. In this provocative book, Waller examines the stubborn philosophical belief in moral responsibility, surveying the philosophical arguments for it but focusing on the system that supports these arguments: powerful social and psychological factors that hold the belief in moral responsibility firmly in place. Waller argues that belief in moral responsibility is not isolated but rather is a central element of a larger belief system; doubting or rejecting moral responsibility will involve major adjustments elsewhere in a wide range of beliefs and values. Belief in moral responsibility is one strand of a complex and closely woven fabric of belief, comprising threads from biology, psychology, social institutions, criminal justice, religion, and philosophy. These dense interconnections, Waller contends, make it very difficult to challenge the belief in moral responsibility at the center. They not only influence the philosophical arguments in favor of moral responsibility but also add powerful extraphilosophical support for it"--Publisher's description.

The essays in this volume address questions about responsibility that arise in moral philosophy and legal theory. Some analyse different theories of causality, asking which theory offers the best account of human agency and the most satisfactory resolution of troubling controversies about free will and determinism. Some essays look at responsibility in the legal realm, seeking to determine how the law should assign liability for negligence, or whether the courts should allow defendants to offer excuses for their wrongdoing or to claim some form of 'diminished responsibility'. Other essays explore libertarian views about political freedom and accountability, asking whether libertarian positions on consent, contract law, and responsibility are consistent, or whether restitution is superior to retribution or deterrence as a basis for a theory of corrective justice. Still others examine the notion of partial or divided responsibility, or the relationship between responsibility and the emotions.

Si à présent tout le monde et en tous domaines en appelle à « la responsabilité », c'est en demeurant dans un flou artistique, et sans que cela se traduise dans la réalité sociale puisque prévaut toujours plus une irresponsabilité massive. En contre-feu aux processus de déresponsabilisation institutionnelle et idéologique (culture de l'excuse, maternage infantilisant, vulgate déterministe des neurosciences et du sociologisme, bientôt emprise de l'Intelligence artificielle) qui sapent en son amont et son aval le ressort personnel du choix responsable, cet ouvrage entend promouvoir une robuste philosophie de la responsabilité individuelle (d'Aristote et Kant à Karl Popper et Jankélévitch) sans la logique et l'éthique de laquelle le principe de responsabilité est moralement et intellectuellement privé de son sens authentique et de toute efficience. Contre le réductionnisme scientiste et « naturaliste » qui prive la responsabilité d'assise substantielle, cette réflexion réaffirme aussi la validité de l'autonomie du sujet et de son libre arbitre ressourcé dans les travaux d'une nouvelle génération de philosophes américains et désormais français ainsi que de neuroscientifiques dépourvus d'à priori déterministes. Tout en faisant litière des lieux communs voulant que la responsabilité soit le « revers de la liberté » et en soutenant que souvent nous sommes responsables de notre irresponsabilité ou que trop de responsabilités tue la responsabilité, l'auteur plaide pour une responsabilisation personnelle moins culpabilisante qu'attractive et « proactive », récompensant des individus fiers de répondre d'eux-mêmes et d'ainsi inspirer confiance aux autres - et pilier régulateur du lien social d'une véritable société ouverte.
