`The Irrelevance of Counterfactual Intervention`

Tuesday, 6 November, 2012, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412

ABSTRACT

Here I give the basic motivation for an "actual-sequence" theory of moral responsibility, according to which an agent can be morally responsible even though he or she never had freedom to do otherwise.  Moral responsibility is a matter of how we walk down the path of life, not whether we have various paths open to us.
