Si à présent tout le monde et en tous domaines en appelle à « la responsabilité », c'est en demeurant dans un flou artistique, et sans que cela se traduise dans la réalité sociale puisque prévaut toujours plus une irresponsabilité massive. En contre-feu aux processus de déresponsabilisation institutionnelle et idéologique (culture de l'excuse, maternage infantilisant, vulgate déterministe des neurosciences et du sociologisme, bientôt emprise de l'Intelligence artificielle) qui sapent en son amont et son aval le ressort personnel du choix responsable, cet ouvrage entend promouvoir une robuste philosophie de la responsabilité individuelle (d'Aristote et Kant à Karl Popper et Jankélévitch) sans la logique et l'éthique de laquelle le principe de responsabilité est moralement et intellectuellement privé de son sens authentique et de toute efficience. Contre le réductionnisme scientiste et « naturaliste » qui prive la responsabilité d'assise substantielle, cette réflexion réaffirme aussi la validité de l'autonomie du sujet et de son libre arbitre ressourcé dans les travaux d'une nouvelle génération de philosophes américains et désormais français ainsi que de neuroscientifiques dépourvus d'à priori déterministes. Tout en faisant litière des lieux communs voulant que la responsabilité soit le « revers de la liberté » et en soutenant que souvent nous sommes responsables de notre irresponsabilité ou que trop de responsabilités tue la responsabilité, l'auteur plaide pour une responsabilisation personnelle moins culpabilisante qu'attractive et « proactive », récompensant des individus fiers de répondre d'eux-mêmes et d'ainsi inspirer confiance aux autres - et pilier régulateur du lien social d'une véritable société ouverte.

A handbook on how to live right and an antidote for today's Prozac society, the book decries today's evasions and prevarications, the ""poor-little-me"" mentality that allows us to cop out when we should be taking responsibility for shaping our lives.

The book treats the compelling question of war and personal responsibility in contemporary America. Cheyney Ryan examines how Americans often support modern warfare but have zero interest in fighting themselves (hence, the 'chickenhawk syndrome,' where one who champions war seeks to avoid any personal sacrifice). Ryan seeks to show how we must come to terms with our understanding and valuing of war when we ourselves are not committed to fighting in it.

Careful attention to contemporary political debates, including those around global warming, the federal debt, and the use of drone strikes on suspected terrorists, reveals that we often view our responsibility as something that can be quantified and discharged. Shalini Satkunanandan shows how Plato, Kant, Nietzsche, Weber, and Heidegger each suggest that this calculative or bookkeeping mindset both belongs to 'morality', understood as part of our ordinary approach to responsibility, and effaces the incalculable, undischargeable, and more onerous dimensions of our responsibility. These thinkers also reveal how the view of responsibility as calculable is at the heart of 'moralism' - the pettifogging, mindless, legalistic, excessively judgmental, or punitive policing of our own or others' compliance with moral duties. By elaborating their narratives of a difficult 'conversion' to the open-ended and relentless character of responsibility, Satkunanandan explores how we might be less moralistic and more responsible in politics. She ultimately argues for a political ethos attentive to how calculative thinking can limit our responsibility, but that still accepts a circumscribed place for calculation (and morality) in responsible politics.

This book is an analysis of the ways in which mental states ground attributions of responsibility to persons. Particular features of the book include: attention to the agent's epistemic capacity for beliefs about the foreseeable consequences of actions and omissions; attention to the essential role of emotions in prudential and moral reasoning; a conception of personal identity that can justify holding persons responsible at later times for actions performed at earlier times; an emphasis on neurobiology as the science that should inform our thinking about free will and responsibility; and the melding of literature on free will and responsibility in contemporary analytic philosophy with legal cases, abnormal psychology, neurology and psychiatry, which offers a richer texture to the general debate on the relevant issues.
