Frankfurt argues the principle is false: a person can be morally responsible even when unable to do otherwise. The discussion distinguishes cases where circumstances both cause an action and remove alternatives, from cases where alternatives are absent without actually motivating the agent. Coercion is used to test how inability to do otherwise relates to diminished moral responsibility.","","cbCaiveVFYzB8bWz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiveVFYzB8bWz","pdf",263661,1,9,"English","en",105,"# Alternate Possibilities and Moral Responsibility\n# The Principle: Why It Seems Plausible\n## Cases Where Doing Otherwise Is Impossible\n## When Circumstances Do Not Impel Action\n# Coercion and Moral Responsibility\n## Threats and the Role of Decisions","[{\"question\":\"What does the principle of alternate possibilities claim about moral responsibility?\",\"answer\":\"It holds that a person is morally responsible for what they did only if they could have done otherwise.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does Frankfurt argue that the principle of alternate possibilities is false?\",\"answer\":\"Because a person may still be morally responsible even though they could not have done otherwise, and the principle’s appeal comes from a misleading impression.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Frankfurt connect coercion to the idea of moral responsibility?\",\"answer\":\"He notes that coercion typically excludes moral responsibility, but argues this exclusion is not correctly understood merely as a special case of the inability to do otherwise.\"}]",1782594089,23,null]
