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.

撒玛利亚人的诅咒：道德的个人和不道德的群体

在本文中，我重新审视了一个问题，即组成一个群体的个人如何以及在什么意义上对该群体的道德上应受谴责的行为负责。这个问题是通过提出一个反事实来解决的：如果自私的人变成有道德的生物会发生什么？开发了一个名为“撒玛利亚人的诅咒”的游戏，它揭示了群体道德责任的困境，提出了关于“赋予道德”和自我实现道德的新问题，也迫使我们质疑博弈论的一些隐含假设。
