Název v původním jazyce

Inconsistent Moral Mind: Asymmetries in Folk Moral Evaluation

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The main aim that I pursue in my paper can be briefly described as an attempt to understand how people perceive moral agents, how they ascribe moral concepts to them, and on what basis they blame a punish them. When evaluating agent’s act, the evaluating process can have several stages: we assess whether the agent had control over his actions, whether he acted freely, whether he acted intentionally and then on the basis of these information we determine agent’s blameworthiness and the sufficient punishment agent really deserves. On every stage of this moral evaluation, we want to make sure that our verdict is based on morally relevant factors like agent’s mental states, etc. However, various strands of research show that people are to a large extent susceptible to various cognitive biases. When they fall prey to them, it leads to several interesting asymmetries in moral judgment – they evaluate two situations that are identical in relevant respects differently.
