A Christian Approach to Corporate Religious Liberty: Group Ontology and Skeptical Arguments
David, Edward A.
2020-09-22 00:00:00
[This chapter anticipates objections to the use of group ontology for the ascription of legal rights to corporate religious liberty. Three positions are addressed: first, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s attempt to eliminate the possibility of group agency for for-profit corporations; second, James D. Nelson’s social theory of conscience, which restricts group agency to a narrow range of group-types; and, third, Richard Schragger and Micah Schwartzman’s argument that group ontology is indeterminate and morally distracting for rights ascription. Especially through critical engagement with the latter theorists, the chapter ends with a basic framework for legal rights ascription, one that integrates group ontology and ethical concepts in a methodologically appropriate way. This framework is used to develop a Christian approach to corporate religious liberty.]
