Who is to blame?
One of our most fundamental moral intuitions is to find a person to blame when there is an incident of moral failure and to hold them accountable. However, there are many situations where such behavior doesn’t appear to be easily attributable to a single individual but rather to a wider group of people. Does it make sense to blame a group of people? Within the scope of business, does it make sense to blame a corporation? What role might the company’s culture play and what if it is fundamentally corrupt? What do we do if we discover we can’t blame either a corporation or any individual employee within the corporation? Is there a moral path forward in such a situation?
