Description
The Problem of Blame examines one of the most fundamental aspects of human morality: our tendency to blame others and experience moral anger. Kelly McCormick provides a rigorous philosophical analysis of blame as a moral and emotional phenomenon, exploring what justifies our practice of holding people accountable for their actions.
McCormick investigates the relationship between blame and moral responsibility, considering how blame functions in our social and ethical lives. She addresses key questions about when blame is appropriate, what makes blame justified, and how emotions like anger intersect with rational moral judgment. The book integrates insights from philosophy, psychology, and ethics to provide a comprehensive understanding of blame’s role in human relationships and social structures.
Published by Cambridge University Press, this scholarly work offers both theoretical contributions and practical implications for understanding moral accountability in contemporary society.
