Why choose this project topic?
The problem of whether moral praise and blame require alternative possibilities offers a clear debate with competing reasons and possible objections. A limited set of primary readings and carefully explained cases helps you develop an independent argument rather than simply summarising philosophers.
Which conclusions about whether moral praise and blame require alternative possibilities are justified by critical examination of major compatibilist and incompatibilist arguments and carefully specified action cases?
Choose the main philosophical interlocutors and a small set of cases, then narrow the argument about whether moral praise and blame require alternative possibilities.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Clarify the key concepts involved in whether moral praise and blame require alternative possibilities.
- 02Reconstruct the competing arguments in major compatibilist and incompatibilist arguments and carefully specified action cases.
- 03Identify competing freedom conditions and test coercion, manipulation and ordinary-choice counterexamples.
A suggested research approach
Select accessible editions of major compatibilist and incompatibilist arguments and carefully specified action cases and define the central terms before defending a position. Identify competing freedom conditions and test coercion, manipulation and ordinary-choice counterexamples. Make premises explicit, address a strong objection to the preferred account, and distinguish hypothetical illustrations from factual evidence.
What you will need
- Lawful access to major compatibilist and incompatibilist arguments and carefully specified action cases
- An argument map addressing whether moral praise and blame require alternative possibilities
- A supervisor-agreed philosophical framework and complete citation records
Keep your project scope clear
Theoretical conclusions do not determine individual criminal responsibility or clinical capacity.
