摘要
What kinds of things can we be morally responsible for? Andrew Khoury offers an answer that includes (i) an argument for the impossibility of blameworthiness for overt action, and (ii) the assertion that "willings are the proper object of responsibility in the context of action". After presenting an argument for the inconsistency of Khoury's answer to our focal question, I defend the following partial answer that resembles, but differs importantly from, Khoury's answer: one can be blameworthy for a practical decision - that is, an essentially intentional momentary mental action of forming an intention to do something that resolves prior felt unsettledness about what to do.
