摘要

摘要在本文中，我重新审视了一个问题，即组成一个群体的个人如何以及在什么意义上对该群体的道德应受谴责的行为负责。这个问题是通过提出一个反事实来解决的：如果自私的个人成为道德生物，会发生什么？开发了一个名为“撒马利亚人诅咒”的游戏，它揭示了群体道德责任的困境，提出了关于“授予道德”和自我实现道德的新问题，也迫使我们质疑博弈论的一些隐含假设。

The Samaritan’s Curse: moral individuals and immoral groups

Abstract In this paper, I revisit the question of how and in what sense can individuals comprising a group be held responsible for morally reprehensible behaviour by that group. The question is tackled by posing a counterfactual: what would happen if selfish individuals became moral creatures? A game called the Samaritan’s Curse is developed, which sheds light on the dilemma of group moral responsibility, and raises new questions concerning ‘conferred morality’ and self-fulfilling morals, and also forces us to question some implicit assumptions of game-theory.

Economics and Philosophy aims to promote their mutual enrichment by publishing articles and book reviews in all areas linking these subjects. Topics include the methodology and epistemology of economics, the foundations of decision theory and game theory, the nature of rational choice in general, historical work on economics with a philosophical purpose, ethical issues in economics, the use of economic techniques in ethical theory, and many other subjects.
