    SEP: collective-responsibility

    Kenneth Silver (2022) follows through on the reasons-responsive approach to group free will and moral responsibility. According to Silver, while it is difficult to establish a group mind or mental state in this context, to do so is not necessary. Instead, we need only establish that groups are sensitive to their reasons and can be motivated to act by them. In Section 5, I address whether such a notion of group control is sufficient to sustain ascriptions of moral blameworthiness.
