I have read the article. Galen makes an excellent case wrt actions not being under the actors ultimate responsibility, at least if he means by that, exclusive responsibility. Actors influence actions but do not have ultimate control or responsibility over outcomes. But he makes a giant unqualified leap in saying moral responsibility is not possible because of that. You've asked several questions about what (other) factors then do determine moral responsibility. I have offered a foundation which is conscious awareness, in which morality is embedded. I have elaborated so that there should be no doubt, I am positioning morality as fundamental experience which is not bound to actions except to the extent in which someone forms the intent to act, making the intention a moral responsibility, not the outcome. Galen failed to consider that. You said you couldn't find a problem with his argument. The problem should be glaringly apparent by now.
