Summary and Future OutlookReviews“Professor Rosenberg provides exceptionally thorough analyses of the legal and moral distinctions between acts and omissions. This book is a must-read by anyone reflecting on this topic and its policy implications in drawing sensible lines between our criminal laws and our moral judgments.” —Joshua Dressler, Distinguished University Professor Emeritus, Michael E. Moritz College of Law The Ohio State University “Roni Rosenberg has produced a comprehensive treatment of how the philosophical and legal complexity of the contrast between acts and omissions applies to substantive controversies, especially the permissibility of euthanasia. But his book is so much more. It also contains a sophisticated examination of several of the most foundational issues in all of moral and legal philosophy.” —Douglas Husak, Distinguished Professor (Emeritus), Rutgers University “This book provides an enlightening, thorough, and original analysis of one of the challenging issues in moral and legal philosophy – the distinction between acts and omissions. Through a fascinating exploration of various rationales for this prevailing distinction, Roni Rosenberg sharply unpacks fundamental theoretical issues in substantive criminal law and demonstrates the practical implications of his analysis.” —Hadar Dancig-Rosenberg, Professor of Law, Bar-Ilan University; Visiting Professor of Law, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law (2023-2024) Author InformationRoni Rosenberg is a Senior Lecturer at the Law Faculty of Ono Academic College, Israel.
