Indirect Compelled Doxastic Coercion

If coercion negates responsibility then does that leave desert theory vacuous?In part 1 of this project, I 1) define different forms of coer-cion; 2) outline adaptive preferences; 3) argue that indirect doxastic coercion is the unconscious element in adaptive preferences; and 4) contextualize these concepts in the black experience. In part 2 I 1) demonstrate how certain segregation policies are a mix of direct prac-tical coercion and indirect doxastic compelled coercion, or indoctrina-tion; 2) In the final section I argue that, under desert theory, coercion negates responsibility.
