Responsibility and Punishment presents a clear-headed defense of retributivism against several long-standing criticisms. In the end, a viable version of retributivism emerges as one which withstands more criticism than competing theories of responsibility and punishment. Extending the problem of wrong doing to collectives and compensation, Corlett explores the matter of reparations for past wrongs in the case of the crimes committed against Native Americans by the United States Government. No other philosophical work on responsibility and punishment exhibits this breadth of scope, as it delves

Rather than assuming from the start a particular point of view about terrorism, this book uniquely engages the reader in a series of critical discussions that

Winner of the 1990 Foundations of Political Theory Section of the American Political Science Association "First Book Award"Now available in paperback with a new preface by the author, this award-winning book breaks new ground by challenging traditional concepts of community in political theory. William Corlett brings the diverse (and sometimes contradictory) work of Foucault and Derrida to bear on the thought of Pocock, Burke, Lincoln, and McIntyre, among others, to move beyond the conventional dichotomy of "individual vs. community," arguing instead that community is best advanced within a po

Artificial Cognition Systems presents recent research efforts in artificial intelligence about building artificial systems capable of performing cognitive tasks. Such study relies on modeling and simulating cognitive processes and therefore constructs experimental labs to evaluate hypothesis and theories about cognition. Artificial Cognition Systems offers contributions from researchers with different backgrounds applying diverse perspectives in cognitive processes modeling and simulation, and brings forth an important and open discussion in artificial intelligence: how cognitive processes
