What are the conditions which must be met for a person to be justly held responsible for his or her moral faults and failures? This text pays systematic attention to ontological issues impinging on this question. It contains a selection of the papers discussed at the International Confererence on Moral Responsibility and Ontology held at Utrecht University, The Netherlands. In Part I the stage is set by the keynote speakers of the conference, Peter van Inwagen and R. Jay Wallace. Subsequent parts are devoted to responsiblity and personal identity, incompatibilist arguments, compatibilist positions, and some related subjects.
