- Title
THE SCIENTIFIC NATURALIST CASE AGAINST MORAL RESPONSIBILITY: A RESPONSE TO ROTTSCHAEFER.
- Authors
Waller, Bruce
- Abstract
In his fair and insightful review of Against Moral Responsibility, William Rottschaefer raises important issues and questions concerning the strict adherence to scientific naturalism in the book's argument against moral responsibility, and particularly the use of a "fairness intuition" in those arguments. The fairness intuition is not proposed as a truth that can be established scientifically, but rather as a basic and widely shared (but not objective) ethical belief which is inconsistent with our scientific naturalist understanding of human behavior and its causes.
