Abstract :
One of the conditions posed on the moral responsibility, it's a control. For the common consideration, it's interpreted the concept of a control based on the availability of an agent to the alternative possibilities, but causal determinism has faced this consideration up to the critical challenges. John Martin Fischer tend to agree with the challenge of causal determinism, particularly with the result of the consequence argument. Hence, he revises the concept of the control. Fischer clarifies his theory about the moral responsibility based on the concept of "guidance control", against regulative control. This type of the control has two main components that each of them has three criterion for determination. Fischer uses these elements in four aspects: 1) recognition of the moral responsibility in the practical different situations; 2) illumination and defense of the triad types of the moral responsibility; 3) responsiveness to the challenges and criticism; 4) development and explanation of his theory.
