This chapter explores the impurity of ethics in As You Like It through the double lenses of moral luck and historical crisis. Moral luck adumbrates the post-Kantian impurity of ethics, while historical crisis embeds individual ethical dilemmas in landscapes shaped by convergent causalities. Moral luck, coined by philosopher Bernard Williams and central to the early writings of Martha Nussbaum, concerns moments of decision in which moral actors choose a course of action whose effects they cannot calculate or control. By challenging humanism’s confidence in the freedom and autonomy of ethical agents, the idea of moral luck confounds the dream of rational self-sufficiency from Plato through the Stoics to Kant. Yet moral luck also discloses a field of affordances and constraints that highlight interdependence, vulnerability, and attachment as components of the good life. The Greek κρίσις (krisis), explored by historian of ideas Reinhart Koselleck, began as a medical term for the turning point in an illness and the judgment required to evaluate and treat it. It eventually came to signify a new sense of time that accented the transition between epochs, for better or for worse. Crises have often been associated with the forced displacement and migration of groups of people. In As You Like It, crisis and moral luck converge in the play’s exilic search for new forms of identity and community.
