The book critically analyzes three contemporary approaches to moral responsibility: sourcehood, sentiment, and reasons-responsive. It argues for the importance of linking retrospective moral responsibility with the desert of praise or blame. The author introduces the moral attitude account, suggesting that an agent's moral attitudes towards moral reasons shape their desert and that retrospective moral responsibility is reflected in their overt behavior. This perspective emphasizes the interplay between moral attitudes and accountability in ethical discussions.
