 Scanlon’s contractualist account of blame sets aside issues of freewill and determinism. Because blame is a reaction to the attitudes a person actually has, it is not undermined by the discovery that he “had no control over the factors that made him the kind of person that he is.” (Scanlon 2008, p. 178) Even if you cannot help being callous, unreliable, and untrustworthy, I cannot be expected to continue to treat you as if you had not revealed that, for whatever reason, that is the kind of person you are.
