Organisations' Wrongdoing: from Metaphysics to Practice

这个项目旨在解释组织是如何做错的，并将这种解释应用于银行皇家委员会和巴黎气候协议。该项目希望利用分析哲学和法律的方法，对形而上学、道德哲学和法律这三个日益孤立的领域做出贡献，并将其整合起来。预期的结果包括学术、法律和公众对组织如何存在、持续、行动、具有特征和可能受到惩罚的理解得到极大的改善——与他们所依赖的个人不同，尽管我们无法看到或触摸到组织。这应该会带来显著的好处，比如指导商业、立法和监管部门对组织不法行为做出反应。

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.
