Reactive Attitudes, Reactivity, and Omissions

Abstract

Regarding a recent book of mine, John Fischer wrote (1999, p. 139): "I am faced with the difficult task of doing a critical notice of a book, with almost all of which I agree!" I face a similar task here. Fischer and Ravizza's Responsibility and Control is an excellent book. It develops, in admirable detail, an attractive compatibilist position on moral responsibility in a trio of related spheres-actions, consequences, and omissions-and it presents powerful objections to leading arguments for incompatibilism. Incompatibilists undoubtedly will find much more to worry about in the book than I do (I am officially agnostic about the truth of incompatibilism [Mele 1995]), but I will try to stir up a little trouble in this essay. I will sketch three apparent problems.
