Kirk Ludwig presents a philosophical account of institutional
action, such as action by corporations and nation states, arguing
that it can be understood exhaustively in terms of the agency of
individuals and concepts constructed out of materials that are
already at play in our understanding of individual action. He thus
argues for a strong form of methodological individualism. The book
provides a new account of the logical form of grammatically
singular group action sentences (e.g. 'Company laid off 10,000
workers'), and features new analyses of the concepts of a
constitutive rule, status function, status role, collective
acceptance, and proxy agency. He also provides an analysis of the
structure of corporate action, including the status of corporations
as legal persons, and of the nature of state action in relation to
its citizens. This is the companion volume to From Individual to
Plural Agency (OUP 2016), extending the multiple-agents account of
collective action set out in the earlier volume.
