Ignorance, Revision, and Commonsense

Author:

Clarke Randolph

Abstract

Many theorists hold that an agent’s blameworthiness for unwitting wrongful conduct must stem from—or trace back to—her blameworthiness for something else. And appeals to tracing in these cases lead some writers to a highly revisionist view, on which people are blameworthy for wrongdoing much less often than we ordinarily think (and our mistake, unfortunately, is not about how much wrongdoing there is). This chapter sets out the main claims of an argument for such a view and responds to it. It offers grounds for retaining a good many of the judgments that the revisionist would have us reject. The defense rests to a significant extent on commonsense views about the psychological capacities and abilities to act that people ordinarily possess, views that, as far as the author tell, revisionists have not shown to be mistaken.
