Primes¶
- Responsibility Attribution
- Its defining structure is a directed assignment from effects to responsible sources, gated by counterfactual and normative tests: an agent is held responsible to the degree that the outcome would have differed had it acted otherwise (counterfactual dependence), that the act was within its control, and that it could foresee the consequence.
This sourceGrounds the control- and reasons-responsiveness ("guidance control") and foreseeability conditions that gate moral responsibility, supporting both the defining gated structure (841) and the coherence of caused-yet-not-responsible / minor-cause-yet-major-responsibility judgments (851).
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract grounds a control/reasons-responsiveness gate on moral responsibility, but states neither counterfactual dependence nor a foreseeability condition.
“The leading idea in the book is that moral responsibility is based on 'guidance control'. This control has two components: the mechanism that issues in the relevant behavior must be the agent's own mechanism, and it must be appropriately responsive to reasons.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
