Sažetak
The crucial element distinguishing cooperative undertakings from weaker forms of collective behavior is the specific intent, shared by all participants in a joint action, to attain a common goal. It is this “participatory intention” (Kutz) that makes agents responsible – both causally and morally – for the outcome of a joint action, even if their individual contributions to this outcome are marginal or nonexistent. Bearing this in mind, it is hard to overestimate the importance of identifying participatory intentions and linking these intentions to individual acts and their consequences. An interesting instance of this problem – the problem of complicitous accountability – is revealed by the following question: How to be sure which shared intent (goal) underlies a particular instance of collective behavior, given that some instances of collective behavior are prone to very different – even equally justifiable – teleological interpretations. I will demonstrate the importance of this problem by considering some (both ethically and legally) controversial cases.
