| Sumario: | The writer discusses Peter Strawson's celebrated essay, “Freedom and Resentment,” which appeared in Free Will, 1982, pp. 59–80. He contends that “Freedom and Resentment” generates a number of questions that must be addressed before Strawson's moral psychology can provide insights into the nature of human relationships. He asserts that Strawson pays insufficient attention to the leeway humans have in choosing their attitudes toward others, and that he conceptualizes the problem of moral responsibility in a manner that risks obscuring important questions about how and why humans should hold others responsible for their actions. |
