The question of responsibility plays a critical role not only in our
attempts to resolve social and political problems, but in our very con-
ceptions of what those problems are. Who, for example, is to blame
for apartheid in South Africa? Is the South African government re-
sponsible? What about multinational corporations that do business
there? Will uncovering the “true facts of the matter” lead us to the
right answer?
In an argument both compelling and provocative, Marion Smiley
demonstrates how attributions of blame, far from being based on an
objective process of factual discovery, are instead judgments that we
ourselves make on the basis of our own political and social points of
view. She argues that our conception of responsibility is a singularly
modern one that locates the source of blameworthiness in an indi-
vidual’s free will. After exploring the flaws inherent in this conception,
she shows how our judgments of blame evolve out of our configu-
ration of social roles, our conception of communal boundaries, and
the distribution of power upon which both are based.
The great strength of Smiley’s study lies in the way in which it brings
together both rigorous philosophical analysis and an appreciation of
the dynamics of social and political practice. By developing a pragmatic
conception of moral responsibility, this work illustrates both how
moral philosophy can enhance our understanding of social and po-
litical practices and why reflection on these practices is necessary to
the reconstruction of our moral concepts.
