The third section explores the ethical and philosophical dimensions of agency and responsibility in negligence, examining the moral and ethical implications of different approaches to negligence. The authors explore questions such as whether negligence is always morally wrong, whether individuals have a responsibility to prevent harm, and whether there are any limits to the responsibility of individuals or organizations.
Overall, this collection of essays provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of agency and responsibility in negligence, offering valuable insights into key ethical and legal issues related to this complex phenomenon. The volume is a must-read for scholars, researchers, and practitioners interested in the field of negligence, as well as anyone seeking to reevaluate the current understanding of agency and responsibility in legal and ethical contexts.
