| Spanish abstract | En contra de la posición de ciertos filósofos, como Thomas Nagel, defiendo la creencia del sentido común según la cual las personas no son moralmente responsables de aquello que hacen o producen inadvertidamente. Considero qué respuesta podríamos esperar razonablemente de una persona que inadvertidamente hace o produce un evento o condición que es manifiestamente indeseable o malo; y sugiero que podríamos esperar razonablemente que dicha persona no se sienta culpable, sino más bien apenada por su inhabilidad para prevenir o evitar esa condición o evento |
| English abstract | Against the view of certain philosophers, such as Thomas Nagel, I defend the common sense belief that people are not responsible for what they do or bring about inadvertently. I consider what response we might reasonably expect from a person who inadvertently does or brings about some event or condition that is manifestly undesirable or bad; and I suggest that we might reasonably expect such a person not to feel guilty but, rather, to feel embarrassed by his or her inability to prevent or avoid that condition or event |
