Description
Moral Responsibility Reconsidered explores the concept of moral responsibility in contemporary philosophical debates. It examines the justifiability of moral practices associated with it, including praise, blame, punishment, and reactive attitudes.
The book discusses various types of responsibility, distinguishing between basic and non-basic desert conceptions, and considers skeptical arguments against each. It then outlines an alternative forward-looking account of moral responsibility grounded in desiderata such as protection, reconciliation, and moral formation.
Ultimately, the authors address concerns about the practical implications of skepticism about desert-based moral responsibility, explaining how optimistic skeptics can preserve aspects of morality and interpersonal relationships that are important to us.
