Description:
Review an impressive and comprehensive discussion of the treatment of responsibility in the law-a discussion that ranges across nearly every field of law, and across jurisdictions, supported by detailed references to cases and supplemented by knowledgeable summaries of commentary by lawyers, legal philosophers, and moral philosophers.Brian H. BixEthicsOct 06Peter Cane has written an impressively wide-ranging and illuminating booka truly commendable piece of work. Cane's book deserves a large audience among legal, moral, and political philosophers.Matthew H. Kramer, Cambridge UniversityPhilosophical ReviewMay 2005it offers a notably clear and robust formulation of a social approach towards responsibility he has plenty of interesting and illuminating insights to offerlawyers and philosphers alike will learn a great deal from this careful dissection of topicsJeremy WatkinsOxford Journal of Legal Studies, Vol 26, No 3 (2006), pp 593-608This is a wide-ranging, highly sophisticated work which looks at concepts of responsibility in law across a range of areas.Alan NorrieAdelaide Law ReviewMay 2002'Responsibility in Law and Morality' is a challenging and valuable book. Although I have criticised Cane's account of responsibilty in this review, I do not wish to leave the reader with the impression that his book is anything but valuable and rewarding it is an illuminating study of responsibilty in law. It is my view that modern lawyers have a great deal to learn from its approach. Accordingly, apart from being essential reading for anyone interested in legal theory, the book has much to teach any lawyer with even the smallest interest in the justifications of legal liability.Allan BeeverMelbourne University Law ReviewMay 2002 About the Author For 20 years,Peter Cane taught law at Corpus Christi College, Oxford.
