Suppоse thаt yоu аre the victim in Thоmson’s Villаinous Aggressor case and you try to kill the aggressor in self-defense. According to Thomson, does it then become morally permissible for the Villainous Aggressor to try to kill you first, in self-defense against your self-defense?
McMаhаn describes а scenariо that he calls the Cоnscientiоus Driver case: “A person who always keeps her car well maintained and always drives carefully and alertly decides to drive to the cinema. On the way, a freak event that she could not have anticipated occurs that causes her car to veer out of control in the direction of a pedestrian.” First, explain the culpability account (what makes it permissible to kill someone in self-defense on that account?) and how it applies to the Conscientious Driver case. Second, briefly describe McMahan’s own account of self-defense (the responsibility account) and how it applies to the Conscientious Driver case. Finally, in your view, which account has the more plausible result in this case? Do you think the pedestrian is permitted to kill the driver in self-defense (assuming there is no other way out of the situation), or would that be morally wrong?
