Moral responsibility and ultimate responsibility -- Moral appraisal and defects of character -- The moral reactive attitudes -- Moral desert of punishment -- The communicative understanding of desert of punishment -- Conclusion : what's an incompatibilist to do?
Summary
K.E. Boxer explores moral responsibility, and whether it is compatible with causal determinism. She suggests that to answer this question we must focus on responsibility in the sense of liability, and that an incompatibilist view may only be preserved on an understanding of the moral desert of punishment that many find morally problematic
