Michael S. Moore
Reviews and Awards
"Mechanical Choices has much to offer...those interested in the base assumptions of extant criminal law and a detailed compatibilist account of moral responsibility will reap great intellectual dividends by investing their time in Mechanical Choices." - Andreas Kuersten, Georgetown University Medical Center, Journal of Moral Philosophy
"The book is well worth a read. Moore truly does an admirable job of teasing apart different arguments and "challenges" one finds in neuroscience-based attacks on moral responsibility and retributivism and shows how each can be met. He does prove the negative thesis that neither folk-psychological ideas about agency and responsibility nor retributivist criminal justice depend on disproven claims." - Sofia M. I. Jeppsson, Ethical Theory and Moral Practice
