PHILOS (F21)230  RESP&ACCOUNTABILITYJAMES, A.
If freedom of will and moral responsibility are agreed to have some close connection to "accountability," that idea is not itself well understood.  This seminar pursues the hypothesis that accountability, and hence moral responsibility, is really about *accounting,* especially accounting for what we owe each other.  This is the sort of debt accounting we do in monetary and more informal relationships such as friendship or marriage, which we are unable to do among mere animals, psychopaths, and assholes.  Along with Nietzsche's _Genealogy of Morals_, readings will be from Strawson, Scanlon, Watson, Darwall, Gilbert, among others.  The seminar is in the service of a book tentatively entitled _The Moral Ledger: Debt, Money, Polity_.

PHILOS (F21)230  LEGAL RIGHTS AND MORAL WRONGSHELMREICH, J.
When you wrongfully harm others, you owe them reparation – they have a right to it, and the law will enforce that right if they sue you. That, at least, is how most societies work today. But is it right? Is it as “intuitive” or “obvious” as some claim? Are there no better alternatives? What justifies this nearly universal practice and where did it come from? Against the backdrop of work by Linda Radzik, Jeremy Waldron and others, we will explore these questions as they are tackled by two of the leading philosophers of tort law in their new book, Recognizing Wrongs, which we will read and interrogate closely.
