Oxford Studies in Agency and Responsibility

Abstract

Abstract This is the ninth volume of Oxford Studies in Agency and Responsibility (OSAR) and the seventh drawn from papers presented at the New Orleans Workshop on Agency and Responsibility (NOWAR, held on November 2023). The OSAR series is devoted to publishing cutting-edge, interdisciplinary work on the wide array of topics falling under the general but distinctive rubric of “agency and responsibility.” This volume dramatically illustrates that aim, as it brings together work on valuing, agential commitment, weakness of will, gratitude, how Buddhists live without anger, pro forma versus real apologies, fitting guilt, culpability for moral ignorance, mens rea and criminal blame, humor and humility, and how to think about returning kindnesses.
