Ethics@noon: Eric Beerbohm (Harvard) "How to Avoid Complicity"

"Not in my name" is a popular protest in democratic systems. Can we make philosophical sense of this complaint? How can citizens avoid moral responsibility for democratically-licensed injustice? Beerbohm distinguishes some accounts of political complicity and their implications for individual moral responsibility.
