COMPLEX COLLECTIVE DUTIES & ACTION-GUIDANCE
Palabras clave:
collective duties, action-guidance, unstructured collections, agent-groups, global poverty, human rightsResumen
We can often find in the literature (both popular and academic)
ascriptions of complex collective duties to extensive unstructured collections
of individuals. By ‘complex collective duties’, I mean collective duties that,
plausibly, require that the individual members of an extensive unstructured
collection should enact different contributory act-types to achieve an end jointly
– for example, the alleged universal collective duty to end global poverty. In
this paper, I argue that these duties are not action-guiding. The reason is that
they do not pass what I call the ‘test of action-guidance’. This test assumes
the intuitive belief that a moral duty is action-guiding only if it is clear to the
duty-bearer the act-type that she should enact after the ascription of the duty.
Complex collective duties ascribed to extensive unstructured collections fail to
pass this test because, even though each duty-bearer (that is, each member of
the collection) receives guidance on the end that they should achieve jointly, it is
not clear to these agents the act-type that each of them should put into practice.
