Oxford Studies in Agency and Responsibility is a series of volumes presenting outstanding new work on a set of connected themes in moral philosophy and philosophy of action. This special volume in the series presents ten new papers marking the fiftieth anniversary of P. F. Strawson's landmark essay, 'Freedom and Resentment'. Some of the papers offer critical interpretation of Strawson's essay, some expand on his insights into the nature of interpersonal relationships, and some develop his overall themes in new and challenging directions.
This volume investigates the enduring philosophical impact and theoretical implications of P. F. Strawson's seminal essay, 'Freedom and Resentment', fifty years after its initial publication. The editors, Neal A. Tognazzini and David Shoemaker, curate a collection of ten original papers that evaluate Strawson's arguments regarding moral responsibility and interpersonal attitudes. The contributors analyze how these concepts function within contemporary debates in moral philosophy and the philosophy of action.
