  • Conversation and Responsibility

    par Michael McKenna ...
    In this book Michael McKenna advances a new theory of moral responsibility, one that builds upon the work of P. F. Strawson. As McKenna demonstrates, moral responsibility can be explained on analogy with a conversation. The relation between a morally responsible agent and those who hold her morally responsible is similar to the relation between a speaker and her audience. A responsible agent's ... En savoir plus

  • Responsibility and Desert

    par Michael McKenna ...
    Responsibility & Desert advances a conversational theory of moral responsibility that relies upon desert as the normative basis for blame and punishment.

  • Forgiveness and Its Moral Dimensions

    Modifié par Brandon Warmke, Dana Kay Nelkin, Michael McKenna ...
    Philosophical interest in forgiveness has seen a resurgence. This interest reflects, at least in part, a large body of new work in psychology, several newsworthy cases of institutional apology and forgiveness, and intense and increased attention to the practices surrounding responsibility, blame, and praise. In this book, some of the world's leading philosophers present twelve entirely new essays ... En savoir plus

  • The Nature of Moral Responsibility

    New Essays

    Modifié par Randolph Clarke, Michael McKenna, Angela M. Smith ...
    What is it to be morally responsible for something? Recent philosophical work reveals considerable disagreement on the question. Indeed, some theorists claim to distinguish several varieties of moral responsibility, with different conditions that must be satisfied if one is to bear responsibility of one or another of these kinds. Debate on this point turns partly on disagreement about the kinds of ... En savoir plus

    Perspectives on P.F. Strawson's 'Freedom and Resentment'

    Modifié par Michael McKenna, Paul Russell ...
    The philosophical debate about free will and responsibility has been of great importance throughout the history of philosophy.

  • Real People and the Rise of Reality Television

    par Michael McKenna ...
    The origins of, and in many ways the prototype for, modern reality programming can be traced to Real People, a show that premiered on the NBC network in April of 1979. An instant ratings success, Real People appealed to an audience that clamored for stories about “everyday” men and women. However, many of the vignettes focused on individuals who were far from average—eccentric collectors, ... En savoir plus

  • The ABC Movie of the Week

    Big Movies for the Small Screen

    par Michael McKenna ...
    On September 23, 1969, five years after the first made-for-television movie premiered, the ABC network broadcast Seven in Darkness. This was the first television film for an anthology show called the Tuesday Night Movie of the Week. Dedicating ninety minutes of weekly airtime to a still-emerging genre was a financial risk for the third-place network—a risk that paid off. The films were so ... En savoir plus

  • Welfare and Rational Care

    par Stephen Darwall ...
    Collections series Princeton Monographs in Philosophy
    What kind of life best ensures human welfare? Since the ancient Greeks, this question has been as central to ethical philosophy as to ordinary reflection. But what exactly is welfare? This question has suffered from relative neglect. And, as Stephen Darwall shows, it has done so at a price. Presenting a provocative new "rational care theory of welfare," Darwall proves that a proper understanding ... En savoir plus

  • Free Will, Agency, and Meaning in Life

    par Derk Pereboom ...
    Derk Pereboom articulates and defends an original conception of moral responsibility. He argues that if determinism were true we would not be morally responsible in the key basic-desert sense at issue in the free will debate, but that we would also lack this kind of moral responsibility if indeterminism were true and the causes of our actions were exclusively states or events. It is possible that ... En savoir plus

  • Why Worry About Future Generations?

    par Samuel Scheffler ...
    The things we do today may make life worse for future generations. But why should we care what happens to people who won't be born until after all of us are gone? Some philosophers have treated this as a question about our moral responsibilities, and have argued that we have duties of beneficence to promote the well-being of our descendants. Rather than focusing exclusively on issues of moral ... En savoir plus
