How does this developmental story bear on questions about the nature of moral judgment and responsibility?<br>DT What do the results from neuroscience imply (if anything) for our questions about agency and responsibility? <p/>No one has written more insightfully on the promises and perils of human agency than Gary Watson who has spent a career thinking about issues such as moral responsibility blame free will weakness of will addiction and psychopathy.
