In this paper, I revisit the question of how and in what sense can individuals comprising a group be held responsible for morally reprehensible behaviour by that group. The question is tackled by posing a counterfactual: what would happen if selfish individuals became moral creatures? A game called the Samaritan’s Curse is developed, which sheds light on the dilemma of group moral responsibility, and raises new questions concerning ‘conferred morality’ and self-fulfilling morals, and also forces us to question some implicit assumptions of game-theory.

撒玛利亚的诅咒：道德个体和不道德群体

在本文中，我重新讨论了一个问题，即组成一个团体的个人如何以及在什么意义上对该团体的道德上应受谴责的行为负责。通过摆出反事实来解决这个问题：如果自私的人成为道德造物，会发生什么？开发了一种名为“撒玛利亚人的诅咒”的游戏，该游戏揭示了群体道德责任的困境，并提出了有关“授予道德”和自我实现道德的新问题，也迫使我们质疑游戏理论的一些隐含假设。
