J.L. Austin and the Law: Exculpation and the Explication of Responsibility

By Daniel Yeager

The author confronts the idea of responsibility by mapping the work of J. L. Austin onto the criminal law. Doing so entails considering the extent to which the language of criminal law can be reconciled with ordinary language, a project that entails considering whether the language of criminal law is ordinary language.
