University of Dayton Review

This issue of the University of Dayton Review presents ten papers focusing on the theme of "Collective Responsibility in the Professions." This was the theme of the Eighth Annual Philosophy Colloquium of the Department of Philosophy of the University of Dayton held in March 1979. The first nine articles in this issue comprise all of the papers read at the Eighth Annual Philosophy Colloquium, while the last article has been added to the collection because it complements the others and rounds out the issue.

Elements In A Theory Of Collective Responsibility, George F. Sefler

University of Dayton Review

Editor's note: This paper was read at the eighth annual University of Dayton Philosophy Colloquium, held in 1979.

"Collective responsibility" is a term subject to various interpretations. Some seemingly pose philosophical problems; whereas, others are more readily acceptable. For example, assume that all the students in a classroom each cheated on an examination; collectively, then, the class is held responsible for cheating. Or, suppose three people decide to rob a bank. One masterminds the crime, another executes the robbery, and a third drives the getaway car. Here also, these men are collectively responsible for wrong-doing. These instances provide little room …

Professional Responsibility And The Responsibility Of Professions, Kenneth Kipnis

University of Dayton Review

Editor's note: This paper was read at the eighth annual University of Dayton Philosophy Colloquium, held in 1979.

If one studies the statements emerging from those organizations which undertake to speak for professions, one is struck by the codes of ethics and canons of professional responsibility which appear so frequently as to make them seem almost the hallmark of professionalism itself These codes appear to be based on the assumption that some actions can merit one assessment if undertaken by a certain professional, but another assessment if undertaken by some other person. For a philosopher, perhaps the most interesting thing …

Physicians And The Community Of Physicians: An Account Of Collective Responsibilities, H. Tristram Engelhardt Jr.

University of Dayton Review

Editor's note: This paper was read at the eighth annual University of Dayton Philosophy Colloquium, held in 1979.

In the course of this paper, I will first present a sketch of some of the cardinal characteristics of professions, as these characteristics bear upon understanding their collective responsibilities. After a brief review of these distinguishing characteristics, I will compare the different senses of obligations that one can attribute to professions and then to their members. I will first examine what is involved in simply being a member of a profession, then a member of a profession within a particular governmental organization …

The Justice Of Collective Responsibility, Joesph S. Ellin

University of Dayton Review

Editor's note: This paper was read at the eighth annual University of Dayton Philosophy Colloquium, held in 1979.

We are sometimes tempted to make attributions of collective responsibility to the professions. We say, "The legal profession is responsible for Watergate"; "The medical profession has failed to provide adequate health care in the nation's ghettos"; "Economists are responsible for the appalling ignorance of economics among the general public". Do such claims make sense? Is it ever fair or just to attribute responsibility to a profession? If so, can responsibility be attributed to each and every member of that profession?
