Alternate Possibilities and Moral Responsibility / Alternative Möglichkeiten und moralische

Is a person only responsible for what they have done if they could have done something else, if they had other options, if they had alternatives? Harry Frankfurt's famous paper from 1969 argues against this seemingly intuitive assumption – and since then, there has been debate over Frankfurt cases and Frankfurt counterexamples. The series "Great Papers in Philosophy" offers groundbreaking essays in philosophy: - A verbatim, citable reproduction of the text (the original foreign language text on the left, a new translation on the right). - A historical context of philosophy: How did people think about the problem in the past? What change did the essay bring about? How do people think about it today? - An analysis of the text or a reconstruction of its argumentative structure, followed by a section about the author and a commented bibliography.
