Moore.

Due to its scope and depth, Moore's Causation and Responsibility is probably the most important publication in the philosophy of law in more than 50 years. This volume offers, for the first time, a detailed exchange between legal and philosophical scholars over Moore's most recent work. In particular, it pioneers the dialogue between English-speaking and German philosophy of law on a broad range of pressing foundational questions concerning causation in the law. The collection is essential reading for anyone interested in legal and moral theory.
