Bibliographic Details
Title: On Responsibility for Others' Harm: Wonder, Regret, and Accountability
Authors: Ferguson, Magnus (Ferguson, Magnus)
Advisors: Richard Kearney
Committee Members: Magnus Ferguson
Summary: I propose and analyze moral emotions that are fittingly experienced when one is socially, institutionally, or structurally affiliated with a perpetrator without causally contributing to their harm. The project explores the nature, scope, and urgency of our reactive attitudes and concomitant responsibilities that arise on account of harms caused by social and political relations. Drawing from resources in phenomenology, social epistemology, moral psychology, and feminist ethics, I argue that affective experiences can direct attention towards the moral salience of our relations and open the way for taking accountability for others’ harm.
