Matravers asks, What are we doing when we hold people responsiblein deciding questions of distributive justice or of punishment?. Byaddressing this question, he not only shows how philosophy can helpin thinking about current political and legal controversies, butalso how we can keep hold of the idea of responsibility in an agein which we are increasingly impressed by the roles of genetics andenvironment in shaping us and our characters.
