Knowledge and Responsibility
American Philosophical Quarterly 5 (2):109 - 116 (1968)
Abstract
This author (1) offers an analysis of the familiar type of excuse that Aristotle categorized as "acts owing to ignorance." (2) exhibits the conditions under which ignorance of fact either fails or succeeds in absolving an agent of responsibility, and (3) shows how these considerations can be used to illuminate the nature of the mental element in responsibility.Author's Profile
