Group agency : the possibility, design, and status of corporate agents

CLChristian ListPHPhilip H Pettit

Abstract

Are companies, churches, and states genuine agents? How do we explain their behaviour? Can we treat them as accountable for their actions? List and Pettit offer arguments, grounded in work on social choice, economics, and philosophy, to show there really are group agents, over and above the individual agents who compose them.
