      Exploring the intricate dynamics of collective responsibility and individual guilt, this book delves into how societal institutions complicate moral accountability. It critiques Kantianism and consequentialism for their shortcomings in addressing complicity, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of accountability. By examining our relationships within social groups, the author presents a philosophical framework that emphasizes the necessity of individual responsibility in the context of collective actions, reshaping contemporary moral theory.
