Description

We will explore theories of responsibility, in particular their explanations of its grounds, its scope and its limits. We will also discuss some fundamental skeptical challenges to the practice of holding ourselves and others responsible. In light of these general considerations, we will then examine more specific topics, such as responsibility for attitudes, moral luck, blameworthiness, excuses and collective responsibility. The aim of the module is to develop an understanding of the nature of responsibility, and the resources and problems of contemporary approaches. Introductory readings: 鈥� R. Jay Wallace, Responsibility and the Moral Sentiments, Cambridge (Mass.): Harvard University Press 1996. 鈥� Susan Wolf, Freedom Within Reason, Oxford: Oxford University Press 1990. 鈥� Daniel Statman (ed), Moral Luck, SUNY Press 1993.
