Neglecting Others and Making It Up to Them: The Idea of a Corrective Duty

Giulio Fornaroli

I aspire to answer two questions regarding the concept of a corrective duty. The first concerns what it means to wrong others, thus triggering a demand for corrections (the ground question). The second relates to the proper content of corrective duties. I first illustrate how three prominent accounts of corrective duties—the Aristotelian model of correlativity, the Kantian idea that wronging corresponds to the violation of others’ right to freedom, and the more recent continuity view—have failed to answer the two questions satisfactorily. I then introduce my proposal, which holds that we wrong others when we fail to treat their status as moral agents as a source of stringent constraints on our action. I call it the moral neglect account. Once we have identified a common aim of corrective duties (counterbalancing moral neglect), we can fill their content in the various contexts in which wronging has occurred. I conclude by observing that it is not the primary role of corrective justice to assign responsibilities for damage reparations; in fact, requests for compensation make more sense if framed in distributive rather than corrective terms.

忽视他人并补偿他们:纠正义务的概念

我渴望回答有关纠正义务概念的两个问题。第一个问题涉及错误他人意味着什么,从而引发纠正要求(地面问题)。第二个涉及到正确的内容的纠正职责。我首先说明关于纠正义务的三种著名观点——亚里士多德的相关性模型、康德的错误行为对应于侵犯他人自由权的观点以及最近的连续性观点——如何未能令人满意地回答这两个问题。然后我介绍我的建议,该建议认为,当我们未能将他人作为道德主体的地位视为对我们行动的严格约束的来源时,我们就冤枉了他人。我称之为道德忽视账户。一旦我们确定了纠正义务的共同目标(抵消道德忽视),我们就可以在发生不法行为的各种背景下填写其内容。我的结论是,纠正性司法的主要作用不是分配损害赔偿责任;而是分配赔偿责任。事实上,如果以分配而非纠正的方式提出补偿要求,则更有意义。
