[MD] Moral Responsibility without free will

Yes, there is a big difference. I think that was Sam's point. We build tornado shelters because tornados do damage, not because we hold them morally responsible for their actions. Same with brain-diseased psychopaths. We lock them up because they do damage, not because we hold them morally responsible. We can identify them as the cause of the damage, so they were responsible as an efficient cause, like a bullet, but they cannot be held responsible as moral agents, Sam says.





Tuukka says:

How is it different to hold something responsible as efficient cause or 
as moral agent? According to MoQ, everything consists of moral value, so 
tornados, psychopaths and even molecules are moral agents.
