July 31, 2020

Alexa Ramirez Garcia presented her research at the COURI Summer Virtual Symposium, July 27-31, 2020. Her presentation “The Many Dimensions of Moral Agency” reveals the incomplete and false picture, which “The Common View” paints of moral agency, undercutting the different contributions and roles each attitude makes in the lives of moral agents. As the title suggests, there are many dimensions of moral agency.
