Abstract

Moral responsibility is an important issue in the field of moral philosophy as much as in everyday life. Although there are different ways of approaching the issue, some are preferred over others; for example, various authors have extensively discussed the requirement of moral competence for an agent to be counted responsible. This article emphasizes the need to talk about the perspective of the victims in order to challenge the narrative that the unfortunate normative circumstances of wrongdoers can absolve them of responsibility for their behaviors.
