A propos de cet article

Paperback, vi + 257 pages, NOT ex-library. Contents are clean and bright throughout, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Minor handling wear only. -- Originating from a 2010 conference at the Goethe University in Frankfurt, this volume brings together twelve essays exploring the concept of defeasibility across several branches of philosophy. Defeasibility, in its most general form, describes a reasoning structure in which a conclusion holds given certain conditions, unless some defeating condition intervenes. The concept entered philosophical discourse through H.L.A. Hart, who borrowed it from property law and applied it to questions of moral responsibility and voluntary action. The essays here extend that inquiry into epistemology, action theory, ethics, and legal philosophy. Six contributions address epistemological questions, examining how defeasibility bears on knowledge and justification. Four focus on moral responsibility, including a sustained exchange between Claudia Blöser and R. Jay Wallace on the "default and challenge" structure of responsibility ascriptions and whether responsibility has a discoverable deep nature or remains irreducibly open-ended. Further essays treat agency and law, with Frederick Schauer's contribution exploring the relationship between defeasibility and the "open texture" of legal language. A concise editorial introduction sets out the basic structure of defeasible reasoning and surveys different approaches. The volume closes with an extensive thematic bibliography covering defeasible reasoning across many areas of philosophy in English and other European languages. The collection is notable for placing epistemological, ethical, and legal perspectives side by side, making visible the structural similarities and instructive differences in how defeasibility operates across these fields.…
