The Department of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies invites you to the annual Burman lectures in philosophy. This years invited lecturer is Carolina Sartorio, Rutgers University. She will give three open lectures over three days on the theme of Responsibility for Consequences.

Lecture 3: Grounding Responsibility for Consequences

Abstract: In the two previous lectures I motivated a particular way of thinking about non-basic moral responsibility, and I hinted at some possible applications of the view. In this final lecture I discuss other applications that, I think, help cement the view. I first draw attention to the grounding structure of non-basic responsibility. I then explain how this bears on the debate about tracing as well as on our responsibility in complex cases, including scenarios of overdetermination of various kinds and scenarios of causal deviance.
