The problem of moral luck is there is a contradiction in our common sense idea of moral responsibility. We believe that a person can become more blameworthy as a matter of luck. Nevertheless, the idea that luck affects moral responsibility contradicts another feature of our thinking: A person's blameworthiness cannot be affected by that which is not within her control. This book defends the claim that luck in results, circumstance, and character can partially determine the degree of a person's blameworthiness. It provides a unique way to advance the debate about moral luck by appealing to arguments in metaphysics, epistemology, ethical theory, and moral psychology.
Autorenporträt
Robert Hartman first developed an interest in UFOs in 1974 when he witnessed three enormous lights side by side in full daylight, hovering over Little Mountain in South Carolina. He gravitated toward a written study of the Roswell Incident due to its superior documentation, prior study, and his travels in New Mexico. Mr. Hartman, now 57 years old, is a southern country lawyer. He is a graduate of the University of South Carolina with B.A. and J.D. degrees. He has practiced law in the State and Federal Courts for 28 years. He is also a private pilot, artist, art collector, tree farmer, and former town politician. His college thesis was used in Walter Edgar's History of South Carolina regarding civil war life in Lancaster County. He is married to another lawyer, and 6th circuit deputy public defender Kay Boulware, and is the father of two children being Olivia and Erin Hartman.
