It was not supposed to happen like that: blameworthiness, causal deviance and luck

Martin Montminy

I consider cases in which a person’s action causes a foreseeable harm, but does so through an unforeseeable causal path. According to a common view, the person is blameless for the harm in such cases. I argue that any defense of this common view incurs serious costs. I then show how a popular view about resultant luck can make the rejection of the common view palatable.

它不应该那样发生:应受责备,因果偏差和运气

我考虑一个人的行为造成可预见的伤害,但通过不可预见的因果路径这样做的情况。根据普遍的观点,在这种情况下,该人对伤害是无可指责的。我认为,对这一共同观点的任何辩护都会产生严重的成本。然后,我将展示一种关于结果运气的流行观点如何使对普通观点的拒绝变得可口。
