Answering for Negligence
Transferred Culpability and the Problem of Voluntary Intoxication
This paper seeks to challenge principles of culpability transfer as they appear in both criminal law and moral philosophy. I begin by discussing the legal doctrine of substituted mens rea, focusing on Section 33.1 of Canada’s Criminal Code. I argue that this doctrine violates the principle of contemporaneity, which there are sound philosophical reasons to accept. I then argue that the same reasons apply to tracing accounts of moral responsibility…
The Idea of Freedom
Kant describes the concept of freedom as “the keystone of the whole structure of a system of pure reason, even of speculative reason.” Kant’s theory of freedom thus plays a foundational and unifying role in all aspects of his philosophy and is thus of significant interest to historians of Kant’s philosophy. Kant’s theory of freedom has also played a significant role in contemporary debates in metaphysics, normative ethics, and metaethics. This vo…
Idea of Freedom
Inclusive Blameworthiness and the Wrongfulness of Causing Harm
This paper takes up the question of whether the consequences of a person’s volitional actions can contribute to their blameworthiness. On the one hand it is intuitively plausible to hold that if A volitionally shoots V with the intention of killing V then A is blameworthy for V’s death. On the other hand, if the only difference between A and B is resultant luck, many find it counter-intuitive to hold that A is more blameworthy than B. There are t…
Imputability, answerability, and the epistemic condition on moral and legal culpability
This paper has two main goals. The first is to defend a particular account of answerability according to which a person is (morally or criminally) answerable for their conduct if it is (morally or criminally) wrongful under the same description under which it is imputable to their agency. Negating defences in law aim to defeat criminal answerability by negating some element of the charged offence while their moral analogues aim to defeat moral an…
