Philosophia, 2020
In their article “No Luck for Moral Luck” (Kneer and Machery Cognition, 182, 331-348 2019), the authors claim to have dissolved the philosophical puzzle of resultant moral luck through empirical studies that show that people do not judge morally lucky and morally unlucky agents differently. In this paper, I will argue that one can accept the results of

The term ‘moral luck’ was introduced by Bernard Williams in 1976 to convey the idea that moral status is, to a large extent, a matter of luck. For example, that Bob grows up to be vicious and Tom to be virtuous depends very much on their different family conditions and educational background.

A new volume of philosophical essays by Bernard Williams. The book is a successor to Problems of the Self, but whereas that volume dealt mainly with questions of personal identity, Moral Luck centres on questions of moral philosophy and the theory of rational action.

Moral Responsibility and "Moral Luck"
The Philosophical Review, 1995This paper has two purposes. The first (part 1) is to defend a distinctive account of moral responsibility; the second (part 2), to argue that "moral luck," understood as a susceptibility of moral desert to lucky or unlucky outcomes, does not exist. The strategy will be to show that if moral responsibility is correctly understood, the phenomena that ...

Philosophy, 1984
Thomas Nagel recognizes that it is commonly believed that people can neither be held morally responsible nor morally assessed for what is beyond their control. Yet he is convinced that although such a belief may be intuitively plausible, upon reflection we find that we do make moral assessments of persons in a large number of cases in which such ...

Moral Luck and Moral Insurance
Dialogue, 2001RésuméIl semble injuste, à la réflexion, de blâmer les agents pour les mauvaises conséquences non voulues de leurs actions.

HEC Forum, 2015
This paper addresses the concept of moral luck. Moral luck is discussed in the context of medical error, especially an error of omission that occurs frequently, but only rarely has adverse consequences. As an example, a failure to compare the label on a syringe with the drug chart results in the wrong medication being administered and the patient dies.

It is a pervasive feature of today’s life that we rely more and more on technology when making decisions. For example, we often “blindly” follow the instructions of navigation systems when driving. Letting the navigation system “take control” is precisely one of the main reasons to use such a technology in the first place because we usually do not have
