The Ontology of Group Agency
We present an ontological analysis of the notion of group agency developed
by Christian List and Philip Pettit. We focus on this notion as it allows us to
neatly distinguish groups, organizations, corporations – to which we may ascribe
agency – from mere aggregates of individuals. We develop a module for group
agency within a foundational ontology and we apply it to organizations
Combinatorial Properties and Dependent choice in symmetric extensions based on L\'{e}vy Collapse
We work with symmetric extensions based on L\'{e}vy Collapse and extend a few
results of Arthur Apter. We prove a conjecture of Ioanna Dimitriou from her
P.h.d. thesis. We also observe that if is a model of ZFC, then
can be preserved in the symmetric extension of in terms of
symmetric system , if
is -distributive and is -complete.
Further we observe that if is a model of ZF + , then
can be preserved in the symmetric extension of in terms of
symmetric system , if
is -strategically closed and is
-complete.Comment: Revised versio
