Honor, History, and Relationship
Stephen Darwall expands upon his argument for a second-personal framework for morality, in which morality entails mutual accountability and the authority to address demands. He explores the role of the framework in relation to cultural ideas of respect and honor; the development of "modern" moral philosophy; and interpersonal relations.
The Ethics of Belief and Beyond
This volume provides a framework for approaching and understanding mental normativity. It presents cutting-edge research on the ethics of belief as well as innovative research beyond the normativity of belief—and towards an ethics of mind.

The Limits of Blame
Faith in the power and righteousness of retribution has taken over the American criminal justice system.

Self-Blame and Moral Responsibility
New essays by leading moral philosophers on the nature and ethics of self-blame, and its connections to moral responsibility.
Consciousness and Moral Responsibility
Neil Levy presents a new theory of freedom and responsibility. He defends a particular account of consciousness—the global workspace view—and argues that consciousness plays an especially important role in action. There are good reasons to think that the naïve assumption, that consciousness is needed for moral responsibility, is in fact true.
Reasons for Action
This volume contains eleven essays on practical reason by leading and emerging philosophers.
Relative Justice
Drawing on research in anthropology, psychology, and a host of other disciplines, this book argues that cross-cultural variation raises serious problems for theories that propose universally applicable conditions for moral responsibility. It develops a way of thinking about responsibility that takes cultural diversity into account.
