Is it always failing to do a duty?
Or is it failing to do things that would be nice but you didn't have a duty to do?
Do you think that blaming is the only way to establish this shared moral understanding?
It's the only way to develop the moral glue in our communities?
One thing I find so interesting about the paradigm of blame that you've presented is how rare it is and how often when we think of blame, we instead think of the pathological cases where either something is out of proportion or I think more often people are using the practice of blaming to
for some other motive, either status seeking or the infliction of emotional harm or something like that.
So I just wanted to hear your thoughts on the pathological cases of blame.
One example of a pathological case that strikes me as relevant to this discussion is victim blaming and the related phenomenon of gaslighting, where somebody, in the face of being blamed for a particular wrongdoing, directs the conversation in such a way that the victim, in fact, ends up endorsing the wrongdoer's view of
on what happened.
Just as one example, you can think of a case of verbal abuse where somebody says something that was totally inappropriate and then upon being confronted with the inappropriateness of what they say, they in fact turn it around and make it the case that
the recipient of that abuse in fact caused it and it was their fault.
So according to your paradigm of blame, this has been somewhat successful because a shared moral understanding has resulted.
But as you just described,
the shared moral understanding isn't tethered to a value that we as neutral observers would want to endorse.
So how do we ensure that our blaming practices don't turn into the gaslighting, the victim blaming, the problematic cases of blame?
So let's say someone has blamed someone.
The wrongdoer has responded appropriately.
They've come to see that they did in fact wrong the person and they're expressing remorse for what they've done and also a commitment to not doing it again in the future.
Is this the point where the blamer becomes the forgiver?
understanding.
