Το ερευνητικό πρόγραμμα «Group Minds in Ancient Narrative» που χρηματοδοτείται από το ERC (European Research Council) σας προσκαλεί στη δημόσια ομιλία της Καθηγήτριας Herlinde Pauer-Studer (University of Vienna, Austria) με θέμα: “A Non-Mentalistic Account of Corporate Agency and Responsibility”
Περίληψη διάλεξης:
In my talk, I aim to show that there is a way to consider corporations and organizations as agents without attributing to them mental states such as beliefs, desires, and intentions. Looking at the constitutional setup and structure of corporations and organizations, as well as the professional status and role of its principal operative members, provides us with sufficient information to classify them as agents. Corporations and organizations are agents, I argue, because their operative members, acting in accordance with their professional role, turn them into decision-making and acting entities. I will then argue that a non-mentalistic account still allows us to hold corporations and organizations morally responsible for their impact on the social world and the environment. Taking into account the professional identity and role of senior managers also allows us to show why they might be accountable for a corporation’s unethical, let alone illegal practices.
