Towards a Transrelational Theory of Moral Agency

Stenseke, Jakob LU (2023) ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction, 2023
Abstract
This paper presents the foundations of a transrelational theory of moral agency, which extends the relational view with the idea that moral relationships include as well as transcend the descriptive criteria – e.g., in virtue of 1st person properties or 3rd person observables – of whatever makes someone a moral agent. The result is a holistic picture that captures the complex interrelationship between what we know of and owe each-other, and helps to explain whether – in what way and to what extent – a human, non-human animal, or artificial entity is or ought to be a moral agent in cases where other theories fall short.
