Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We blame, praise, punish, and benefit people on the basis of what we believe they deserve. Basic Desert, Reactive Attitudes and Free Will discusses whether such a notion of desert even makes sense and, if so, why exactly. Can we make sense of the widespread conviction that we are morally responsible beings? Do we deserve to be blamed and punished for our immoral actions, and how can this be justified given the philosophical and scientific reasons to believe that we lack the sort of free will required for this sort of desert? This book was originally published as a special issue of Philosophical Explorations.
