In this paper the author points out some problems that stem from the connection between contemporary theories in criminal law about dolus eventualis, and our paradigmatic conception of action, i.e. the so called Humean theory. These problems are of two classes: internal and external ones. On the one hand, the author shows that reductionist theories are not able to provide a sound criterion for distinguishing between dolus eventualis and conscious negligence. If reductionist theories are rejected, dolus eventualis can not be regarded as a genuine form of dolus. In order to overcome this problem, criminalists often replace a descriptive point of view on the actual motivation of agents for an adscriptive (normative) conception of dolus, but this shift separates dolus from agents' mental states that determine their actions. As a consequence of this conceptual movement, differences between subjective and objective responsibility actually vanish. On the other hand, the author shows that contemporary theories challenge the conceptual priority of the explanation of actions over their evaluation. Thus, these theories make agents responsible on account of the consequences of their actions rather than by their actions.
En este trabajo señalo algunos desafíos que genera el dolo eventual a una explicación humeana de la acción. Estos desafíos son de dos clases: problemas internos y problemas externos. En cuanto a los problemas internos de la teoría del dolo eventual muestro que una teoría reduccionista o epistémica del dolo se compromete con dar una respuesta negativa a la pregunta sobre la diferencia entre dolo eventual y culpa consciente. Si por el contrario, se acepta un enfoque no reduccionista, no se puede dar cuenta de que el dolo eventual es genuinamente dolo sin alterar los términos de su propia teoría. Este esfuerzo presiona para modificar la teoría en una versión normativizada del dolo. La consecuencia de ello es la separación del dolo con los estados mentales que efectivamente posee el agente, borrando así la diferencia entre responsabilidad por las acciones y responsabilidad por las consecuencias. En cuanto a los inconvenientes de adecuación externa sostendré que la figura del dolo eventual invierte la prioridad conceptual de la explicación sobre la evaluación de las acciones responsabilizando a los agentes por las consecuencias que ocasionaron y no por lo que hicieron.
