Exploring the philosophical dimensions of complicity, Gregory Mellema categorizes nine forms of complicity based on Thomas Aquinas's taxonomy. He argues that moral blame attaches to those who perform actions contributing to wrongdoing, and discusses the moral responsibility of accomplices in relation to outcomes. Mellema distinguishes between enabling, facilitating, and condoning harm, while introducing the concept of indirect complicity. His clear and engaging analysis sheds light on collective responsibility, illustrated with nuanced examples that enhance understanding of complicity in moral contexts.
