Is Trump responsible for the January 6 insurrection? Are "white
people" responsible for slavery? In Collective Responsibility,
Leadership, and Attributionism: Responsibility beyond our Control,
Eugene Schlossberger expands, updates, and argues for the
attributionist account of moral responsibility and agency and
applies it to several pressing contemporary concerns: leaders'
responsibility for the acts of their followers (and ordinary
persons' responsibility for their influence on others), collective
responsibility, addiction, and responsibility for what we would
have done. Moral agents are continuing worldviews in operation who
are ultimately responsible for their worldviews and
occasion-responsible for acts, events, and circumstances that
occasion a judgment of responsibility. Agents can be responsible
for many things beyond their fingertips-such as the behavior of
others that they enabled-that reveal something about their
worldviews. The wide-ranging discussion addresses the
responsibility of psychopaths; the nature of beliefs and desires;
social convergence theory; twelve forms of subjectability, such as
blame and owing an apology; queerness and moral internalism; the
beneficiary pays principle; and much more. The result is a
comprehensive picture of agency and responsibility.
Applying new theories about rights to pressing social issues, A
Holistic Approach to Rights suggests major changes are needed in
the ways we think about rights and formulating social policy. Part
I analyzes rights as networks of warrants_socially recognized
sanctions for doing, saying, demanding, believing, feeling, or
thinking something as one's due. On this account, rights are more
varied and play a more diverse and open-ended role in legal and
moral thinking than most theories of rights allow. A new theory of
natural rights treats them as claims that every person has upon the
state, as a condition of legitimacy, to make adequate provision for
those features of human life that require force against persons to
be justified. Moral rights, such as the right to the truth, derive
from team loyalty due fellow members of the moral community and can
be lost by someone who acts in ways that undermine the moral
enterprise. Part II provides detailed analyses of affirmative
action, group rights, the rights of future generations,
reproductive rights, the use of new reproductive technologies, and
speech rights. Specific conclusions include an innovative proposal
for regulating violence and pornography in the media.
