Epistemology of Groups
Groups are often said to bear responsibility for their actions, many of which have enormous moral, legal, and social significance. But are groups subject to normative assessment simply in virtue of their individual members being so, or are they somehow agents in their own right?Answering this question depends on understanding key concepts in the epistemology of groups, as we cannot hold the Trump Administration responsible without first determining what it believed, knew, and said. When children were separated from their parents or guardians at the U.S.-Mexico border as part of America's immigration policy, for example, the Trump Administration was said to be responsible for the harms these families suffered as a result.
Inflationary theorists maintain that Deflationary theorists hold that group phenomena can be understood entirely in terms of individual members and their states.
