| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we found, through questionnaire, that there are various factors involved in our judgment on responsibility and praise/blame and that factors vary both between persons and between cases within a person. We also found that we have to take these into account in the philosophical study of free will and that we may have to revise our commonsense conceptual framework. Secondly, we examined philosophical significance of experimental philosophy in general and found that it is difficult to defend intuition by emphasizing philosophers' expertise when our intuitions vary or oppose against each other.
