[PHI 1000] Chronicle and Determinism

  1. If Andrew (Chronicle) used his powers for evil because he was abused by his father and bullied in school, then he became evil through no fault of his own.
  2. If he became evil through no fault of his own, then he cannot be held morally responsible for his actions.
  3. Therefore, if Andrew used his powers for evil because he was abused by his father and bullied in school, then he cannot be held morally responsible for his actions.
What do you make of this argument? Is it sound?
