Our core objective is to bring together researchers in epistemology, ethics and metaphysics to shed light on key questions concerning blame including the following.
What is it to blame someone and under what conditions are we entitled to do so? Are groups, such as companies or governments, blameworthy?
To what extent can groups or individuals be held blameworthy for beliefs or behaviour which discriminate against women or minorities even when the beliefs and behaviour are subconscious and/or accepted practice?
What can be revealed about blame by the nature of forgiveness and apology?
