Organisations' Wrongdoing: from Metaphysics to Practice

该项目旨在解释组织如何做错事，并将此解释应用于银行皇家委员会和巴黎气候协定。该项目预计将使用分析哲学和法律的方法，以促进和整合，三个日益孤立的领域：形而上学，道德哲学和法律。预期的结果包括一个大大提高学术，法律的，以及公众对组织如何存在，坚持，行动，有性格，并可以惩罚，作为区别于他们所依赖的个人，尽管事实上，我们不能看到或触摸组织。这应该会带来巨大的好处，例如指导商业、立法和监管部门对组织不当行为的反应。

This project aims to explain how organisations can do wrong and apply this explanation to the Banking Royal Commission and Paris Climate Agreement. The project expects to use the methods of analytic philosophy and law to contribute to, and integrate, three increasingly isolated fields: metaphysics, moral philosophy, and law. Expected outcomes include a much-improved scholarly, legal, and public understanding of how organisations exist, persist, act, have characters, and can be punished—as distinct from the individuals on whom they depend, and despite the fact that we cannot see or touch organisations. This should provide significant benefits, such as guiding commercial, legislative, and regulatory responses to organisational wrongdoing.
