Reviews

This book will be of use in its entirety to those who are concerned with practical issues of responsibility distribution in institutions, particularly institutions of a fairly technical nature. - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Ibo van de Poel, Lamber Royakkers, and Sjoerd D. Zwart have assembled the most comprehensive treatment yet of the problem of many hands, which has confounded assessments of individual responsibility in contexts of joint action and diffuse causality. Not only do they cogently capture the nature of this problem, both descriptively and formally, but they offer three compelling solutions to it, which should be of political as well as philosophical interest. - Steven Vanderheiden, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder, USA
