Stephen Kershnar on the Impossibility of Responsibility
Brain in a Vat - A podcast by Brain in a Vat - Sundays
Categories:
Kershnar presents a dilemma: we’re responsible for our decisions because they’re caused by our psychology. But do we choose our psychology? If we do, then it seems that choice couldn’t have been a morally responsible choice, since our psychology didn’t choose it. But if we didn’t choose our psychology, then we can’t be responsible for the choices that come from our psychology. Presenters: Mark Oppenheimer and Jason Werbeloff Editor and Producer: Jimmy Mullen
