Honor<'e> (formerly civil law, Oxford U.) develops themes implicit in his and Herbert Hart's 1985 . In seven essays, he proposes a theory of outcome responsibility that finds intervening in the world to be sufficient to make someone responsible. To act and be responsible is to take risks, he says, so that responsibility can be a matter of luck rather than fault or merit. US distribution is by ISBS. Annotation c.
