Excuses, Exemptions, and the Challenges to Social Naturalism

Pamela Hieronymi has authored a very insightful book 1 that focuses on one of the most influential articles in 20th century philosophy: P.F. Strawson's 'Freedom and Resentment' (1962). Hieronymi's principal objective in Freedom, Resentment, and the Metaphysics of Morals is to reconstruct and evaluate the central argumentative strategy in Strawson's essay. The author's aim is 'to show that it can withstand the objections that are both the most obvious and the most serious, leaving it a worthy contender' (3). In the present commentary, I summarize the main results of Hieronymi's analysis. I engage with the book's main themes, noting in due course certain unclarities and some shortcomings, while emphasizing the many valuable insights it offers.
