Accountability is a central concept in both law and moral philosophy. Indeed, accountability can be understood as the organizing concept around which other legal and moral concepts are organized, such as the authority of law or moral obligations. However, we believe that one aspect of accountability has received less attention than it deserves – the practices of accountability and their (dis)similarity in law and morality. To address this shortcoming, the workshop aims to bring together scholars from law and philosophy to explore and discuss the nature, function, and (meta-ethical) implications of accountability practices in both legal and moral contexts.
