I'll chat about "Discussion of Responsibility & Luck, Chapter Two" with listeners on the live broadcast of Philosophy in Action Radio on Thursday evening, 5 June 2014.
What are some of the common proposed solutions to the problem of moral luck? Why do they fail? I will answer these questions and more in this live discussion of Chapter Two of my book, Responsibility & Luck: A Defense of Praise and Blame.
The live broadcast begins at 6 pm PT / 7 MT / 8 CT / 9 ET on Thursday, 5 June 2014. The podcast will be posted later that evening. For more details, check out the episode page.
