Parker's Pensées Ep. 149 - Moral Luck and Theories of Moral Responsibility w/Dr. Taylor Cyr
Reckless Drivers
- Two reckless drivers act identically, but one hits a pedestrian due to luck.
- This highlights resultant moral luck, where outcomes affect blameworthiness.
Courage and Moral Luck
- A naturally courageous person acts heroically, while a fearful person doesn't, given the same opportunity.
- This illustrates constitutive moral luck's impact on praise and blame.
Inescapable Moral Luck
- While we can indirectly influence our character through actions, moral luck persists.
- This makes moral luck inescapable, impacting responsibility.
In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined for the 5th time (!) by Dr. Taylor Cyr. This time we talk about his awesome work on moral luck. Taylor argues that constitutive moral luck should lead historicists to convert over to his brand of structuralism.
