Threats, bystanders and obstructors
Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society 108 (1pt3):365-372 (2008)
Abstract
In this paper I argue that the widespread view that obstructors are a special sort of bystander is mistaken. Obstructors make Victim worse off by their presence, and thus are more properly described as innocent threats. Only those characters who do not make Victim worse off by their presence can be classified as bystanders.Author's Profile
