Is Fair Opportunity a Comprehensive Theory of Responsibility? [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
I challenge the adequacy of David Brink’s “master principle” of culpability. I allege that it fails to account for the moral relevance of ignorance of wrongdoing. I describe three cases in which I believe that Brink’s theory of normative competence cannot account for the significance of a variable that bears on culpability. In most of this paper I attempt to anticipate and reply to the various responses Brink might offer to my challenge. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.
