  • Moral Responsibility and Anger with Professor Michael McKenna

    Moral Responsibility and Anger with Professor Michael McKenna
    Aug 23 2022
    An argument breaks out in response to a perceived slight, anger erupts, and violence ensues. It is all-too-familiar cases like this that make anger seem like a problematic emotion. However, many philosophers have taken interpersonal reactive attitudes, such as anger and resentment, to be defining features of our moral responsibility practices. Join host A/Prof Paul Formosa and guest Professor Michael McKenna as they discuss what moral responsibility is and what emotions such as anger have to do with. This podcast discusses Michael’s forthcoming book, but you can also read Michael’s work here: Michael McKenna. 2019. “The Free Will Debate and Basic Desert.” Journal of Ethics. 23: 241-55; Michael McKenna. 2018. “Power, Social Inequities, and the Conversational Theory of Moral Responsibility.” In K. Hutchison, C. Mackenzie, and M. Oshana, eds., Social Dimensions of Moral Responsibility. Oxford University Press: 38-58; Michael McKenna. 2012. Conversation & Responsibility.
