Stephen Kershnar on the Impossibility of Responsibility

Published: Feb. 5, 2023, 6 p.m.

Kershnar presents a dilemma: we\u2019re responsible for our decisions because they\u2019re caused by our psychology. But do we choose our psychology? If we do, then it seems that choice couldn\u2019t have been a morally responsible choice, since our psychology didn\u2019t choose it. But if we didn\u2019t choose our psychology, then we can\u2019t be responsible for the choices that come from our psychology.
