Are companies, churches, and states genuine agents? Or are they
just collections of individual agents that give a misleading
impression of unity? This question is important, since the answer
dictates how we should go about explaining the behaviour of these
entities and whether we should treat them as responsible and
accountable in the manner of individuals. Group Agency offers a new
approach to that question and is relevant, therefore, in a range of
fields from philosophy to law, politics, and the social sciences.
Christian List and Philip Pettit take the line that there really
are group or corporate agents, over and above the individual agents
who compose them, and that a proper social science and a proper
approach to law, morality, and politics have to take account of
this fact. Unlike some earlier defences of group agency, their
account is entirely unmysterious in character and, despite not
being technically difficult, is grounded in cutting-edge work in
social choice theory, economics, and philosophy.
