Topic: The Social Dimensions of Moral Responsibilityl

Work on moral responsibility has largely adopted an individualistic approach, neglecting its social dimensions. However, moral responsibility is based on agential capacities and the latter depend on the social context in which agents are embedded, including the institutions to which they belong, the groups with which they interact and the interpersonal relationships they take part in. In addi-tion, as a social practice, moral responsibility is regulated by forces that are sensitive to the influence exerted by differences in the distribution of power, as well as by contexts of oppression and other forms of structural injustice. There-fore, relations of responsibility cannot simply be assumed to be reciprocal.
Submissions are invited that focus on the different social dimensions of moral responsibility and related agential capacities, particularly from a non-ideal theo-retical perspective, and that establish connections with differences in power, identity oppression, structural injustice, and connected issues.
