Beschreibung:
Examining the ontological nature of social groups and the way in which groups should be regarded within moral deliberation, this book makes an original contribution to the field of social philosophy. Sheehy argues for an ontological realism about groups, defending the thesis that groups are composite material particulars, ontologically on a par with individuals and capable of figuring in their own right in descriptions and explanations.
Contents: Introduction; Individual and group: identity, composition and reduction; On plural subject theory; Social groups, explanation and ontological holism; Objects of the social world; The corporate soul; The moral status of social groups; The possibility of a group right; The moral evaluation of groups; Concluding remarks; Bibliography; Index.
