 But, again, we need to be careful. For, forward looking (remedial) responsibility is not ascribed for the purpose of gauging moral agency per se. Instead, it is ascribed for the purpose of ensuring the success of a particular, morally justifiable, project, e.g., alleviating poverty, hunger, or racism. Hence, when it comes to forward looking responsibility, we need to think about who is in the best position to do something about the harm, and when we do, as Robert Goodin (1998) points out, we may—and probably will—discover in some cases that the agent who caused the harm is not the agent who is now able to remedy it in practice.
