I explore the question of when an agent is derivatively, rather than directly, culpable for an undesirable outcome. The undesirable outcome might be a harmful incompetent or unwitting act, or it might be a harmful event. By examining various cases, I develop a sophisticated account of indirect culpability that is neutral about controversies regarding normative ethical issues and the condition on direct culpability.

衍生罪责

我探讨了代理何时出现的问题衍生的， 而不是直接地，为不受欢迎的结果负责。不良结果可能是有害的无能或不知情的行为，也可能是有害事件。通过研究各种案例，我对间接过失提出了一个复杂的说明，该说明对于有关规范伦理问题的争议和直接过失的条件是中立的。
