Essentially Aggregative Harm, Restraint, and Collectivization
Some of the most pressing contemporary social problems result from the amalgamation of a mass of actions that are not intentionally coordinated.

This paper offers a new analysis of these problems and uses a nonideal contractualist approach to argue in favour of two kinds of duties for individuals. Collectivization d…

A structural approach to the human right to just and favourable working conditions
The human right to just and favourable working conditions offers a promising way of articulating the injustice suffered by workers who toil in substandard conditions. However, if we take seriously the objection that, for many workers living in poor countries, neither their employer nor their government can responsibly fulfil the right at this time, we may be tempted to reject the idea that there can be such a right. In response to this problem, t…

It proposes that the duty to take reasonable precautions requires that agents make efforts to establish collective solutions to any essentially aggregative harm to which they would otherwise contribute. Baylor Johnson has argued that the general obligation to promote the common good requires that…
