Amongst the topics covered are issues of autonomy, responsibility and liability. It will be a collection of interest to anyone working in moral, legal or political philosophy.

    • Feinberg, whose work is celebrated, is an eminent legal philosopher and author of many books
    • The list of contributors includes many distinguished legal and political philosophers

    Reviews & endorsements

    "In Harm's Way is an excellent book. ... It should be clear both that Feinbergian themes pervade this collection, and that the issues discussed are at the cutting edge of legal and social theory. Even if you buy only on hardbound book a year, think about making it this one. And even it you normally never buy harbound books, think about buying In Harm's Way. You won't regret it." Canadian Philosophical Reviews
