Hi all,
This is a reminder that you are invited to tomorrow's CAVE seminar where CAVE distinguished visitor Professor Michael McKenna will be presenting a talk titled 'MORAL RESPONSIBILITY AND THE ATTENUATED ROLE OF THE HOSTILE EMOTIONS'. The location has changed to 01MD 101 Unilever Theatre to allow for a larger audience. Abstract: I argue for three points. First, the reactive attitudes are not essential to moral responsibility and more specifically to holding morally responsible by blaming. Second, the negative reactive attitudes involving moral anger need not be construed as objectionable because hostile or severe; they are consistent with expressions that are humane and dignified. Finally, one should endorse a stance of compassion as a corrective against excessively harsh treatment. This is consistent with morally justifiable expressions of negative reactive attitudes involving moral anger.
