Abstract

In this article, I argue that we hold agents morally responsible for more than their choices, and we do so for the same good reasons that we hold agents responsible for their chosen actions: We expect each other to have and express a certain quality of attitude towards one another- a degree of respect- and our attitudes toward one another are reflected by more than our choices.
