• Manipulation and Degrees of Blameworthiness Montminy, Martin | Tinney, Daniel 2018 The Journal of Ethics , Vol. 22 , Issue 3/4 , S. 265 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 1382-4554 | 1572-8609 10.2307/45205042 Abstract

    We propose an original response to Derk Pereboom's four-case manipulation argument. This response combines a hard-line and a soft-line. Like hard-liners, we insist that the manipulated agent is blameworthy for his wrongdoing. However, like softliners, we maintain that there is a difference in blameworthiness between the manipulated agent and the non-manipulated one. The former is less blameworthy than the latter. This difference is due to the fact that it is more difficult for the manipulated agent to do the right thing. We explain how we can make sense of this notion of difficulty in terms of Fischer and Ravizza's notion of reasons-responsiveness.
