Looks like the psychology of moral complicity judgments is unclaimed empirical territory. Someone should get on it!
Moral psychologists: do you know of any empirical work on judgments about moral complicity? Like, how proximate to a moral harm does an action/inaction have to be before the actor is seen as culpably contributing to it in some way?

In Memoriam: Daniel Dennett (1942-2024) leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2024/04/i…
When I was 20, I picked up Dennett's Freedom Evolves from the Philosophy section in bookstore. If I hadn't done that, I wouldn't be a philosopher today. So many other philosophers have a similar origin story. What an incredible impact for one person to have on the field. RIP.
