Equality, Responsibility, and the Law

Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and Law

by Arthur Ripstein

This book examines responsibility and luck as these issues arise in tort law, criminal law, and distributive justice. In revealing how the problems that arise in tort and criminal law as well as distributive justice invite structurally parallel solutions, the author also shows the deep connection between individual responsibility and social equality. This is a challenging and provocative book that will be of special interest to moral and political philosophers, legal theorists, and political scientists.

This guy really wishes he wrote Weinrib's book The Idea of Private Law.
