{"product_id":"from-plural-to-institutional-agency-kirk-ludwig-9780198789994","title":"From Plural to Institutional Agency: Collective Action II","description":"Kirk Ludwig presents a philosophical account of institutional action, such as action by corporations and nation states, arguing that it can be understood exhaustively in terms of the agency of individuals and concepts constructed out of materials that are already at play in our understanding of individual action. He thus argues for a strong form of methodological individualism. The book provides a new account of the logical form of grammatically singular group action sentences (e.g. 'Company laid off 10,000 workers'), and features new analyses of the concepts of a constitutive rule, status function, status role, collective acceptance, and proxy agency. He also provides an analysis of the structure of corporate action, including the status of corporations as legal persons, and of the nature of state action in relation to its citizens. This is the companion volume to \u003cem\u003eFrom Individual to Plural Agency\u003c\/em\u003e (OUP 2016), extending the multiple-agents account of collective action set out in the earlier volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirk Ludwig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198789998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198789994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.40w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2018","brand":"Kirk Ludwig","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054688170239,"sku":"9780198789994","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_174509bc-95a8-4e62-b84f-de7200bfe84c.jpg?v=1685031406","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-plural-to-institutional-agency-kirk-ludwig-9780198789994","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
