Moral Responsibility and the Problem of Many Hands by Ibo Van De Poel
When many people are involved in an activity, it is often difficult, if not impossible, to pinpoint who is morally responsible for what-the 'problem of many hands.' This volume provides an in-depth philosophical analysis of this phenomenon, distinguishing between different normative meanings of responsibility.-

"This book will be of use in its entirety to those who are concerned with practical issues of responsibility distribution in institutions, particularly institutions of a fairly technical nature" – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"Ibo van de Poel, Lambèr Royakkers, and Sjoerd D. Zwart have assembled the most comprehensive treatment yet of the problem of many hands, which has confounded assessments of individual responsibility in contexts of joint action and diffuse causality. Not only do they cogently capture the nature of this problem, both descriptively and formally, but they offer three compelling solutions to it, which should be of political as well as philosophical interest." – Steven Vanderheiden, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder, USA
