The counterfactual mental state of negligent criminal activity invites skepticism from those who see mental states as essential to responsibility. Here, I offer a revision of the mental state of criminal negligence, one where the mental state at issue is actual and not merely counterfactual. This revision dissolves the worry raised by the skeptic and helps to explain negligence’s comparatively reduced culpability.

疏忽大意

过失犯罪活动的反事实心理状态引起了那些认为心理状态对责任至关重要的人的怀疑。在这里，我提供了对刑事过失的心理状态的修正，其中所讨论的心理状态是真实的，而不仅仅是反事实的。这一修订消除了怀疑论者提出的担忧，并有助于解释疏忽相对减少的罪责。
