Reassessing Responsibility: Why Knowing What One Is Doing Matters
21-22 April 2017 Trinity Hall, Cambridge Could a knowledge condition of responsibility apply to habitual behaviours and attitudes as it applies to intentional actions? In light of phenomena, such as responsible yet unconsciously held attitudes should knowing what one is doing be reconsidered as an object rather than condition of responsibility? How would rethinking the role of knowledge affect understanding that of control, the other standard condition of responsibility? The workshop will address these and further questions relevant to whether the knowledge and control conditions on responsibility for action can be reconciled with an acknowledgement of the role of habits and dispositions in agency.
