Abstract
In Causation and Responsibility Michael Moore sets out a sophisticated account of causation and responsibility, an account which I largely find compelling but for one issue, namely his response to the problem of omissive overdetermination. I will briefly set out his account of causation, then turn to this problem in detail.
