Against the view of certain philosophers, such as Thomas Nagel, Harry Frankfurt defends the common sense belief that people are not morally responsible for what they do or bring about inadvertently. He considers what response we might reasonably expect from a person who inadvertently does or brings about some event or condition that is manifestly undesirable or bad; and he suggests that we might reasonably expect such a person not to feel guilty but, rather, to feel embarrassed by his or her inability to prevent or avoid that condition or event. • This talk was given by Harry G. Frankfurt in 2008 at Amherst College. • #Philosophy #Ethics
