| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Exempting addicts from moral responsibility for their addictive behavior is one of the most serious problems in addiction neuroethics. My purpose is to show a realistic way of thinking to evaluate responsibility ascription to addicts. To achieve this, I surveyed recent research on addiction neuroscience first of all. I then picked up main features of addiction from the results and assessed them in terms of ethical responsibility theories.
There are two conclusions from my research. The first is that we should distinguish two kinds of responsibility related competence: the global one which we generally exercise in all our action, and the local one which we exert at the particular, special situation. The other is that we need some kind of normative ideal of "person" to attribute people responsibility and that the role of neuroscientific understanding of addiction in responsibility ascription is to exempt addicts by breaking that ideal.
