It is perhaps a common assumption that we are all responsible for our own actions, however, this can be difficult to justify if an individual\u2019s actions are out of character or unusual.  Furthermore different situations may influence how we act and how we view our responsibility. Using pertinent case studies to provide examples, the intention is to analyse and synthesise factors that can be said to influence behaviour and impact on responsibility. Following on from this the philosophical thoughts of Kant, Foucault and Lyotard will be examined in an attempt to reach an understanding as to whether moral responsibility stems from what is within us or the environment in which we live.  <\/p>\n<p>Immanuel Kant \u2013<br \/>\n1785 Grounding for the metaphysic of morals<br \/>\n1788 Critique of practical reason<br \/>\n1797 The metaphysics of morals   <\/p>\n<p>Michael Foucault \u2013<br \/>\n1975 Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison<br \/>\n1982 The Subject and Power<br \/>\n1954-1984 Power   <\/p>\n<p>Jean-Francis Lyotard \u2013<br \/>\n1962 Dead Letter<br \/>\n1984 The Post-Modern Condition: A Report on Knowledge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jacolyn Robinson, 2013, Stage 3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8792,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[609,22,123],"tags":[312,3,37],"class_list":["post-2075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-609","category-abstracts","category-stage-3-abstracts","tag-behaviour","tag-kant","tag-morality"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8792"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2075"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2075\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
