We are strongly inclined to believe in moral responsibility - the
idea that certain human agents truly deserve moral praise or blame
for some of their actions. However, recent philosophical discussion
has put this natural belief under suspicion, and there are
important reasons for thinking that moral responsibility is
incompatible with both determinism and indeterminism, therefore
potentially rendering it an impossibility. Presenting the major
arguments for scepticism about moral responsibility, and subjecting
them to sustained and penetrating critical analysis, Moral
Responsibility lays out the intricate dialectic involved in these
issues in a helpful and accessible way. A well-written and lively
account, the book then goes on to suggest a way in which scepticism
can be avoided, arguing that excessive pre-eminence given to the
will might lie at its root. Offering an alternative to this
scepticism, Carlos Moya shows how a cognitive approach to moral
responsibility that stresses the importance of belief would rescue
our natural and centrally important faith in the reality of moral
responsibility.
