David Shoemaker

The Architecture of Blame and Praise (eBook, ePUB)

An Interdisciplinary Investigation

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this book, David Shoemaker investigates the complicated nature of blame and praise--teasing out their many varieties while defending a general symmetry between them. The book provides a thoroughgoing normative grounding for all types of blame and praise, one that does not appeal in any fashion to desert or the metaphysics of free will.
