Domino Theory of Moral Nonresponsibility

The Domino Theory of Moral Nonresponsibility is a philosophical concept posited by Norman Swartz . Swartz first described it in his lecture on Free Will and Determinism, specifically, in relation to several of Clarence Darrow's famous cases. The theory states that if one claims that one was not responsible for an action, others can claim the same thing, leading to the conclusion that no one is responsible for anything--a logical paradox.
