Notes

  1. For Card, the concepts of justification and excuse are closely connected: she defines the latter by reference to the former when she writes “by “morally excusable” I mean here not reduced responsibility but the existence of a good reason, a partial justification.” In this paper I follow her usage and do not investigate the difference between justification and excuse.

  2. Note that the question-begging referred to here is different from the charge of question-begging that Card refers to, and disputes, in her article.
