Eric Beerbohm, In Our Name: The Ethics of Democracy, Princeton University Press, 2012, 352pp. The basic premise of Beerbohm's argument is that because democratic citizens are causally connected to political outcomes - through sins both of commission and omission - they bear moral responsibility for unjust decisions. At first blush (and even second), it may seem implausible to understand citizens as causal agents of government decisions in large representative democracies.

When a government in a democracy acts in our name, are we, as citizens, responsible for those acts? What if the government commits a moral crime? The protestor's slogan-"Not in our name "-testifies to the need to separate ourselves from the wrongs of our leaders. Yet the idea that individual citizens might bear a special responsibility for political wrongdoing is deeply puzzling for ordinary morality and leading theories of democracy.
