Inhalt:
Something is subject to luck if it is beyond our control. In this book, I show that luck detrimentally affects both moral obligation and moral responsibility. I argue that factors influencing the way we are, together with considerations that link motivation and ability to perform intentional actions, frequently preclude our being able to do otherwise. Since obligation requires that we can do otherwise, luck compromises the range of what is morally obligatory for us. This result, together with principles that conjoin responsibility and obligation, is then exploited to derive the further skeptical conclusion that behaviour for which we are morally responsible is limited as well.
