This chapter introduces the main themes of the book and sets the stage for the investigation. It focusses us on cases of atypical offenders: wrongdoers who act out of ill will but were not aware of their wrongdoing and acted in a way that we could not expect them to avoid their wrongdoing. Such cases give rise to competing intuitions about blameworthiness: the Blaming Intuition and the Withholding Intuition. The book sets out to offer a reconciliation of these intuitions.
