Sumario: | Through critical examination of three main contemporary approaches to describing moral responsibility (sourcehood, sentiment, and reasons-responsive), this book illustrates why philosophers must take into account the relationship between retrospective moral responsibility and desert of praise or blame. The author advances the moral attitude account, whereby desert of praise and blame depends on the agent's moral attitudes in response to moral reasons, and retrospective moral responsibility results from expressions of those attitudes in overt behavior. |
