 Michael Otsuka offers yet another principle in place of the Control Principle: One is only blameworthy in cases in which one had the kind of control that would have allowed one to be entirely blameless. Consistent with this is a kind of moral luck, however: one’s blameworthiness can vary in degree as a function of harm done, where harm done may be affected by what is not in one’s control. Although one cannot be blameworthy if one lacked the control necessary to avoid blameworthiness, one’s degree of blameworthiness can increase if the risk one takes comes out badly due to circumstances one could do nothing to avoid. For example, in the case of the two assassins, both are blameworthy, but, Otsuka argues, the one who hits and kills his target is more blameworthy. In sketching the view, Otsuka draws a parallel with Dworkin’s (1981) treatment of option luck in the debate over egalitarianism. In that debate, a distinction is drawn between option luck (“a matter of ...whether someone gains or loses through accepting an isolated risk he or she should have anticipated and might have declined”) and brute luck (“a matter of how risks fall out that are not that sense...gambles).” If one’s luck is just brute-one did not assume a risk, as when one has done everything a careful driver would do, and due to sheer luck, a dog runs into the street and one drives over it-one is not blameworthy. But if one assumes a risk by knowingly and freely driving recklessly, and, as a result, one kills a dog, then one is blameworthy. And, further, one might be more blameworthy in the case in which one kills the dog than in the case in which one takes the same risk but luckily reaches home without hitting anything. It would be reasonable, on Otsuka’s view, for the dog owner whose dog is killed to be more resentful than the one whose dog escapes, and this supports the conclusion that the driver who kills the dog is more blameworthy than the one who does not.
