This collection of essays on the theory of criminal law is by philosophers from the UK, USA and Canada. Ranging across such central issues as moral luck, mistake and mental illness, this book aims to reorientate the study of criminal law. Whilst retrieving valuable material in traditional law classifications, the contributors break down false associations, reveal hidden truths and establish new patterns of thought. Their conclusions should make for essential reading for scholars and advanced students of criminal law, legal and moral philosophy. Jeremy Horder is the author of "Provocation and Responsibility".

Criminal law has been described as a species of political and moral philosophy; whether that can be said to be true is not at all certain, but criminal law can be the subject of philosophical study. The aim of this book is to explore some of the philosophical foundations of the criminal law. The distinguished English and North American contributors to this volume have all produced original and sparkling essays which will command attention.
