One mark of interpersonal relationships is a tendency to blame. But
what precise evaluations and responses constitute blame? Is it most
centrally a judgment, or is it an emotion, or something else? Does
blame express a demand, or embody a protest, or does it simply mark
an impaired relationship? What accounts for its force or sting, and
how similar is it to punishment? The essays in this volume explore
answers to these (and other) questions about the nature of blame,
but they also explore the various norms that govern the propriety
of blame. The traditional question is whether anyone ever deserves
to be blamed, but the essays here provide a fresh perspective by
focusing on blame from the blamer's perspective instead. Is our
tendency to blame a vice, something we should work to replace with
more humane ways of relating, or does it rather lie at the very
heart of a commitment to morality? What can we legitimately expect
of each other, and in general, what sort of attitude do would-be
blamers need to have in order to have the standing to blame?
Hypocritical or self-righteous blame seems objectionable, but why?
The contributions to this volume aim to give us a fuller picture of
the nature and norms of blame, and more generally of the promises
and perils of membership in the human moral community.
