1. 11. Minds, Brains and Desert: On the relevance of neuroscience for retributive punishment

   Författare :Alva Stråge; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Desert; Responsibility; Philosophy of Mind; Neurolaw; Retributivism; Folk Psychology; Folk Morality;

   Sammanfattning : It is a common idea, and an element in many legal systems, that people can deserve punishment when they commit criminal (or immoral) actions. A standard philosophical objection to this retributivist idea about punishment is that if human choices and actions are determined by previous events and the laws of nature, then we are not free in the sense required to be morally responsible for our actions, and therefore cannot deserve blame or punishment.

   Sammanfattning : Can nonhuman animals and artificial intelligence (AI) entities be attributed moral agency? The general assumption in the philosophical literature is that moral agency applies exclusively to humans since they alone possess free will or capacities required for deliberate reflection. Consequently, only humans have been taken to be eligible for ascriptions of moral responsibility in terms of, for instance, blame or praise, moral criticism, or attributions of vice and virtue.
