Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship for Professor Jessica Brown
Jessica Brown, Arch茅 Professor of Philosophy at the University of 精东传媒, has been awarded a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship worth 拢118,764 to investigate the moral responsibility of groups such as companies and governments.
Her starting point will be that society standardly treats such entities as morally responsible, blaming and praising them for their actions, even though they don鈥檛 seem to be moral agents in the way that individual people are.
She will ask whether we should change our concept of agency to accommodate groups, or alternatively attempt to provide an explanation of moral responsibility without agency.
This award is for a 24-month period starting September 2021.
