MORAL LUCK - ETHICAL ROLE OF LUCK IN THE WORK OF THOMAS NAGEL

In the late 1970s, the problem of moral luck had come to the fore of philosophical attention. The issue was published by the leading figures in contemporary moral philosophy - Bernard Williams and Thomas Nagel, through its own works published under the same title Moral Luck. They sought to deny the alleged immunity of morality to luck. They themselves were based on the assumption that luck threatens morality no less than it threatens the other dimensions of human life. In the present study we analyse the Nagel's concept of moral luck that arose in response to Williams's essay Moral Luck.
