description

Building on the responsibility framework developed in the previous chapter, this chapter completes the argument. It refutes the relationist challenge that personal relations require special responsibilities qualifying as relevant for matters of justice. The argument focuses Scheffler’s relationist arguments and demonstrates how his critique of nonrelationism can be resolved by differentiating between different types of responsibility.
