道德運(yùn)氣與道德責(zé)任問題

Abstract: According to the traditional conception of moral responsibility, which up to Kant
had been established completely, what a person must be responsible for is nothing more than
what is done directly from her or his agency, whereas anything that is independent of the

both compatible and incompatible with moral intuition in different senses. If moral luck is
a real concept of morality, the conception has to be revised to the extent that we should be

Nevertheless, unlike Bernard Williams who first seriously introduced the concept of moral
luck into the contemporary realm of moral theory, the present paper maintains that there
