Description
Getting Our Act Together: A Theory of Collective Moral Obligations by Anne Schwenkenbecher explores how individual moral obligations can be understood as joint or collective, shedding light on our intuitions regarding collective action problems.
The book develops an original theory of collective moral obligations, arguing that thinking of some of our obligations as joint is the best way to make sense of our efforts when working together towards a common goal. It also discusses 'massively shared obligations' in relation to major-scale moral issues such as global poverty.
This thought-provoking work will appeal to researchers and advanced students in moral, political, and social philosophy, as well as those interested in philosophy of action, social epistemology, and philosophy of social science.
