Abstract

The article presents the view of the author on moral responsibility. The author states that most of the concern with moral responsibility grows out from connection between taking people to be responsible for something and making them responsible. The author cites that reactive attitudes disappear when their object was not responsible for event or action that triggered them. The author also mentions that the concept of moral responsibility has been formed by conscious and unconscious interests.
