This is a critical notice of Alfred Mele’s, Manipulated Agents: A Window to Moral Responsibility. I agree with Mele that moral responsibility is a historical phenomenon, but give some considerations (based on analogous phenomena) in favor of a positive, rather than negative, historical condition for moral responsibility. I focus on Mele’s Zygote Argument, which is intended to present a challenge for compatibilism. I contend that the challenge can be met, and I offer an error theory of the appeal of the Zygote Argument.

初始设计，操作和道德责任

这是Alfred Mele的《操纵的代理人：道德责任的窗口》的重要通知。我同意梅勒的观点，道德责任是一种历史现象，但是（基于类似现象）应考虑一些因素，以建立积极而不是消极的道德责任历史条件。我专注于Mele的Zygote论点，该论点旨在提出兼容性方面的挑战。我认为可以解决挑战，并且我提出了Zygote论点的吸引力的错误理论。
