Descripción
Sumario:The main aim in this article is to answer the question of what constitutes moral responsibility. We will attempt to show thatmoral responsibility has two essential features, that is, internalistic demands and social authority. For this purpose, we will make use ofcompatibilistic strategies. We will then attempt to describe Thomas Scanlon’s view of substantive responsibility and, in the last part ofthe article, we will put forward an argument concerning a type of reasonable moral responsibility expressed in John Rawls’ theory of justice as fairness.
