| Abstract: |
This article defends my challenge to the influential idea that social structures can be wrong independently of individual wrongdoing. Responding to criticisms from Kirun Sankaran and Jake Monaghan and from Stephanie Collins, I maintain my position against their charges of presupposing or concluding with the "deontic view" that only agents can commit wrongs. I then explain why I think Collins's positive account of how there might be structurally targeted grievance attitudes such as resentment is not successful. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
