对于集体的义务，“应该”是否意味着“能够”？在这篇论文中，我想确定两件事。第一，集体义务对集体成员意味着什么。第二，如何确定集体能力。我认为，有四种一般类型的义务，从集体转移到成员以不同的方式，我给一个帐户的分配义务从集体成员为每一种。以拟议的方式理解集体义务和能力的一个含义是，一个群体可能因未能履行其义务而受到指责，即使该群体中没有任何成员因未能履行其义务而受到指责。
Does 'ought' imply 'can' for collectives' obligations? In this paper I want to establish two things. The first, what a collective obligation means for members of the collective. The second, how collective ability can be ascertained. I argue that there are four general kinds of obligation, which devolve from collectives to members in different ways, and I give an account of the distribution of obligation from collectives to members for each of these kinds. One implication of understanding collective obligation and ability in the proposed way is that a group can be blameworthy for failing to realize its obligation even when no member of the group is blameworthy for failing to realize her obligation.
