Climate Change and the Moral Agent : Individual Duties in an Interdependent World

Sections (i) and (ii) of Chapter Two ('Collective Self-interest, Collective Inaction, and Collective Harm') partly overlap with Cripps’ article ‘Collectivities without Intention’. The journal article includes an earlier version of the defence of the non-intentionalist model of collectivities which is found in the book chapter. However, unlike the journal article, the chapter goes on to elaborate on the relationship between risk and fundamental interests, and to defend a global level 'collectivity of humanity', including younger generations. The article, by contrast, elaborates on the relationship between collectivities, aggregates and social groups, and defends the state as a collectivity.
