Abstract
The Restatement of Torts defines negligence as "conduct . . . which falls below the standard established by law for the protection of others against unreasonable risk of harm." This is the generally accepted view. There is, however, a competing view which has had some vigorous champions. According to it, negligence involves the state of mind of indifference or inadvertence.
