5. 18. Responsibility and Ambivalence

   Author : Alexander Velichkov; Praktisk filosofi; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; moral luck; responsibility; ambivalence; free will; guilt; regret; psychopathy;

   Abstract : I use the concept of ambivalence—the state of being faced with a choice that cannot be resolved without sacrificing something of value—to approach five contemporary debates in the philosophy of moral responsibility: (1) psychopathy, (2) free will, (3) the emotion of guilt, (4) regret and indirect moral luck, and (5) moral demandingness. Rather than arguing for one theory or another, acknowledging ambivalence paves the way for resolving these debates by reconciling the opposing sides. READ MORE

   Abstract : This thesis discusses what blame is, what it is for an agent to be blameworthy for having performed a certain act or omission, what makes an agent blameworthy for having performed a certain act or omission, whether the idea of standing to blame generalises to blame understood as something privately held, and what it is for blame to be proportionate. It provides original answers to these questions that move the current discussion of blame forward. READ MORE

Or more precisely, whether there are examples in which one of these relations is not instantiated. READ MORE
