Social relationships pose normative expectations and demands on individuals.When expectations or demands are frustrated,blames,including self-blame and other-blame,are natural responses.Regardless of its variety,blame stings,so the appropriateness of blame is pivotal.This paper addresses this issue by looking at the standing to blame,especially on the non-hypocrisy condition.While discussing hypocritic blame and hypercrisy,we articulate and compare three proposals,i.e.,the moral equality proposal,the moral superiority proposal,and the moral seriousness proposal.It turns out that the moral seriousness proposal provides a satisfactory explanation to both phenomena.On this view,if one makes a hypocritical blame,one lacks serious commitment to the value behind normative requirements,and hence loses the standing to blame.However,via self-blame,one can restore the standing to blame others.
