Explores aspects of responsibility, including moral accountability;
hierarchy, rationality, and the real self; and ethical
responsibility and alternative possibilities.
This book provides a comprehensive, systematic theory of moral
responsibility. The authors explore the conditions under which
individuals are morally responsible for actions, omissions,
consequences, and emotions. The leading idea in the book is that
moral responsibility is based on "guidance control." This control
has two components: the mechanism that issues in the relevant
behavior must be the agent's own mechanism, and it must be
appropriately responsive to reasons. The book develops an account
of both components. The authors go on to offer a sustained defense
of the thesis that moral responsibility is compatible with causal
determinism. This major study will interest moral philosophers,
legal theorists, and those in religious studies concerned with the
issue of moral responsibility.
