DESCRIPTION:Imagine you are a soldier who spots an “enemy” child who is
  about to throw an explosive at your camp\; you know it is wrong to kill a
  child\, but the alternative is to fail to protect members of your unit. Y
 ou shoot and kill the child and are later praised for your action. But you
  don’t feel proud\, even though you don’t think there was any better a
 ction you could have taken\; instead\, you have an anguished sense of resp
 onsibility for the child’s death. Or imagine you are a nurse who adminis
 ters the wrong medication because of an error that someone else made on a 
 patient’s chart\; no one blames you\, but you are haunted by your role i
 n the patient’s subsequent death. These situations are marked by a pecul
 iar asymmetry between what we tend to hold ourselves responsible for and w
 hat others can rightly hold us responsible for. I\n\nLisa Tessman\, profes
 sor of philosophy at SUNY Binghamton\, makes sense of this asymmetry by ar
 guing that our sense of responsibility can be fitting. It can reflect what
  really matters to us - regardless of whether it reflects what\, according
  to shared normative expectations\, can rightly matter.\n\nRefreshments wi
 ll be provided from Hamilton Whole Foods.\n\nThis event is sponsored by Th
 e Jerome Balmuth and Marion Hoeflich Endowment.
