Moral Responsibility and Motivating Reasons: On the Epistemic Condition for Moral Blameworthiness

Dissertation, University of Auckland (2021)

Abstract

In response to the radical view that moral blameworthiness entails full awareness of wrongdoing, I proposed a rival view that avoids the radical view’s counter-intuitive implication that blameworthiness is hard to find. I argued that blameworthiness requires only partial awareness of wrongdoing, and I provided an original account of what those partial awareness conditions are.
