Abstract

THIS PAPER ADDRESSES THE ISSUES OF WHETHER HAVING CAUSED HARM SHOULD BE A NECESSARY CONDITION FOR LIABILITY FOR THAT HARM, AND IF SO, WHY. THE AUTHOR EXAMINES JUDITH THOMSON'S ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF AN UN-KANTIAN ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION, AND POINTS TO WHAT THE AUTHOR BELIEVES ARE THE INADEQUACIES OF THIS ARGUMENT AGAINST KANTIANISM.
