Abstract

I argue that John Doris should apply his dialogic or collaborationist approach to agency more fully to questions of moral responsibility. To do so, he must discard his form of pluralism that aims to accommodate a variety of theoretical approaches to responsibility in favor of a pluralism that rejects theorizing about responsibility altogether.
