On 13 December, Professor Lubomira Radoilska will give a talk at the Centre for Reasoning on the topic of Moral Competence and Mental Disorder.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this talk, she will argue for two related claims. First, severe mental disorders and psychological impairments might impact moral competence not only by reducing its scope or precision (hypo-agency) but also by amplifying either of these dimensions (hyper-agency); and second, neither need to be incapacitating, that is, making hypo- or hyper-agents inappropriate subjects of moral responsibility ascriptions. The ambition is to shed new light on \u2018knowledge\u2019 in the knowledge condition on moral responsibility and to advance a wider project of socialising responsibility by emphasizing the relevance of the contexts in which responsible agency is exercised.<\/p>\n

She will start by introducing the notion of moral competence and the standard account of how this can be affected by mental disorders and psychological impairments. She then explores first-personal narratives of people with bipolar disorder, autism and schizophrenia for possible impacts of hypo- and hyper-agency on moral competence. Finally, she will revisit the so-called ecological or scaffolding account of responsibility to make room for the un-scaffolding of one\u2019s agency as a core exercise of moral competence in debilitating contexts.<\/p>\n
