Abstract:
\
n Philosophers often distinguish between causal r
esponsibility and moral responsibility, taking the
latter to be an important mark of our distinctive
humanity. But focusing exclusively on the attitud
es and judgments we form toward people on the basi
s of their moral characters and behavior leads us
to overly narrow conceptions both of responsibilit
y and of humanity. As a corrective, this lecture c
onsiders the attitudes and judgments we make of ar
tists on the basis of their artwork. By attending
to the way in which artists may be aesthetically r
esponsible for their creations, we can develop a r
icher understanding of responsibility and a more c
omprehensive idea of humanity.
