Question

In a paper on a new avenue for philosophy, this thinker distinguished the title relation from mere liking because it involves “identifying” with a subject and is “inherently prospective.” In one paper, this thinker noted that “my Jolly Roger is now unfurled” in a footnote admitting the boldness of not analyzing the term “morally responsible.” This philosopher complained that focusing on “what to believe” and “how to behave” means neglecting “The Importance of What We Care About.” This philosopher proposed a thought experiment in which, at the last moment, (*) Black prevents Jones from acting in (10[2])accordance (10[1])with his will, thereby refuting (10[1])the principle of alternative (10[3]-5[1])possibilities. (10[1])This philosopher discussed “humbug” and “lying” (10[1])in a book about “lack of respect (10[1])for the truth.” (10[2])This philosopher supported compatibilism with his namesake “cases.” (10[1])For 10 points, name this philosopher who wrote the book On Bullshit.
