States pursue unjust wars, businesses avoid tax, charities misdirect funds. Our social, political, and legal responses require guidance. We need to know \u003cem\u003ewhat\u003c\/em\u003e we're responding to and \u003cem\u003ehow\u003c\/em\u003e we should respond to it. We need a metaphysical and moral theory of wrongful organizations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book provides a new such theory, paying particular attention to questions that have been underexplored in existing debates. These questions include: where are organizations located as material objects in the natural world? What's the metaphysical relation between organizations and their members? Can organizations be blameworthy for attitudes and character traits, as well as for actions? What about feelings of guilt, remorse, and shame-can organizations feel these emotions and why does this matter? How and why are members implicated in organizations' wrongs? How should organizations' reparative costs be apportioned among members? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book provides provocative answers to these questions. It argues that organizations are material objects with humans as material parts - much like how a pizza is a material object with slices as material parts. This picture helps us make sense of organizations' blameworthiness, including blame for organization-level actions, attitudes, and character traits. What's more, organizations can experience moral self-awareness - a crucial component of guilt, remorse, and shame. Members can be implicated in organizations' actions in numerous ways - and, it is argued, members' level of implication should determine their share of organizations' reparative burdens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStephanie Collins, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor of Philosophy, Monash University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStephanie Collins is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Monash University.
