If responsibility is fully captured by the agent's rational control over action, then fairness constraints Watson cites as beyond attributability are internal to, not external supplements of, the attributability relation.

No one has weighed in yet. Be the first to share reasons for or against this statement.

Attributability(as used in moral responsibility): Whether we can fairly say an action truly belongs to or reflects a person's character, beliefs, or values—not just something that happened to them.
External supplements(contrasted with 'internal' in this statement): Extra requirements added to a concept from the outside, rather than being part of its core definition.
Fairness constraints(as conditions Watson argues are separate from attributability): Conditions or limitations that ensure it's actually fair to hold someone responsible for something—for example, they had the ability to do otherwise.
Rational control(as a condition for responsibility): The ability to think through your actions, understand what you're doing, and make conscious choices based on reasoning rather than acting on impulse or accident.
