Title: David Shoemaker
“Hurt Feelings.”
In introducing the reactive attitudes “of people directly involved in
transactions with each other,” P.F. Strawson lists “gratitude, resentment,
forgiveness, love, and hurt feelings." Because he decided to illustrate his
larger points about responsibility by focusing on resentment (via an
investigation into its standard excusing and exempting conditions), nearly
everyone writing about responsibility in Strawson’s wake has done so as
well. But what of the remaining reactive attitudes? While many have written
about gratitude, forgiveness, and love, hurt feelings is a lonely outlier,
with nary a single philosophical paper on it. This puzzling elision is made
more puzzling by the fact that, as I intend to argue, considering it
carefully has very significant implications for our theorizing about
responsibility. Indeed, it may well reveal a stark methodological divide in
the field. I will begin by developing a psychologically-informed
understanding of the nature of hurt feelings, and then I will explore their
excusing and exempting conditions, a la Strawson. To account for them in a
theory of responsibility will, as we shall see, require a dramatically
different approach than any that have thus far been offered.
