Abstract
AbstractOn one popular approach to blameworthiness, an agent is the fitting target of blame in virtue of culpably doing wrong. But this view faces a puzzle. If an agent culpably performs a wrong action, then this fact will always be true of them, and so they will be the fitting target of blame forever. But this seems counter-intuitive—we typically judge that it is not fitting to blame culpable wrongdoers in perpetuity. So, there must be more to being blameworthy over time than culpable wrongdoing. This chapter defends a reparative account of blameworthiness over time, according to which blameworthy agents have reparative obligations to their victims and remain the fitting target of blame until these obligations are fulfilled.
