I argue that responsibility and determinism are not antithetical but mutually supportive
ideas; that factors affecting responsibility, such as drugs and mental and physiological
conditions, may be the occasion for increased or decreased penalties; and that the
decision in such cases is not scientific but moral. I conclude, contra some modern
authorities, that there is no opposition between science and law.
