abstract:Collective action is a much-discussed topic today, but not in the historiography of philosophy. Therefore, I would like to contribute a little bit to our understanding of the history of this concept by exploring the political philosophy of Thomas Aquinas. A compelling interpretation of his treatise On Kingship emerges when we read it not, as is often the case, in terms of his moral perfectionism, but as expressing the idea that the political community is an artificial and distinct subject of agency. Thus, the political philosophy of On Kingship turns out to be congenial to contemporary approaches to collective action.

托马斯·阿奎那《王权论》中的政治与集体行动

摘要：集体行动是当今一个被广泛讨论的话题，但在哲学史学中却没有。因此，我想通过探索托马斯·阿奎那的政治哲学，为我们理解这一概念的历史做出一点贡献。当我们阅读他的论文《论王权》时，就会出现对他的论文的令人信服的解释，正如通常情况下，他的道德完美主义，而是表达了政治共同体是一个人为的、独特的代理主体的观点。因此，《王权论》的政治哲学与当代的集体行动方法相吻合。
