Abstract
Abstract We have argued that persons can be morally responsible for actions and consequences that are inevitable for them. That is, there are cases in which an agent can legitimately be held morally responsible for performing an action he could not have avoided performing; and there are cases in which an agent can legitimately be held morally responsible for a consequence-universal that he could not have prevented from obtaining. Further, we have argued that a certain sort of association of moral responsibility with control helps to explain these facts. More specifically, the association of moral responsibility with guidance control helps to explain why moral responsibility for actions and consequences does not require alternative possibilities.
