Zusammenfassung: | In this book, Seumas Miller examines the moral foundations of contemporary social institutions. Offering an original general theory of social institutions, he posits that all social institutions exist to realize various collective ends, indeed, to produce collective goods. He analyses key concepts such as collective responsibility and institutional corruption. Miller also provides distinctive special theories of particular institutions, including governments, welfare agencies, universities, police organizations, business corporations, and communications and information technology entities. These theories are philosophical and, thus, foundational and synoptic in character. They are normative accounts of a sampling of contemporary social institutions, not descriptive accounts of all social institutions, both past and present. Miller also addresses various ethical challenges confronting contemporary institutional designers and policymakers, including the renovation of the international financial system, the 'dumbing down' of the media, the challenge of world poverty, and human rights infringements by security agencies combating global terrorism. |

They are normative accounts of a sampling of contemporary social institutions, not descriptive accounts of all social institutions, both past and present. Miller also addresses various ethical challenges confronting contemporary institutional designers and policymakers, including the renovation of the international financial system, the 'dumbing down' of the media, the challenge of world poverty, and human rights infringements by security agencies combating global terrorism.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Social institutions.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85123963</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Social ethics.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85123939</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Institutions sociales.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">social institutions.</subfield><subfield code="2">aat</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SOCIAL SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Anthropology</subfield><subfield code="x">Cultural.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">POLITICAL SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Public Policy</subfield><subfield code="x">Cultural Policy.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SOCIAL SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Popular Culture.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Social ethics</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Social institutions</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Sozialeinrichtung</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4077579-3</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Sozialethik</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Institution</subfield><subfield code="g">Soziologie</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4027207-2</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Moral</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4040222-8</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">The moral foundations of social institutions (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCFrhtw8vpV7bGgGMy6XMrq</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Miller, Seumas.</subfield><subfield code="t">Moral foundations of social institutions.</subfield><subfield code="d">Cambridge ;

spelling | Miller, Seumas. The moral foundations of social institutions : a philosophical study / Seumas Miller. Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2010. 1 online resource (x, 371 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 347-356) and index. Theory -- A teleological account of institutions -- The moral foundations of institutions -- Individual autonomy : agency and structure -- Collective moral responsibility -- Institutional corruption -- Applications -- The professions -- Welfare institutions -- The university -- The police -- The business corporation -- Institutions and information and communication technology -- Government. In this book, Seumas Miller examines the moral foundations of contemporary social institutions. Offering an original general theory of social institutions, he posits that all social institutions exist to realize various collective ends, indeed, to produce collective goods. He analyses key concepts such as collective responsibility and institutional corruption. Miller also provides distinctive special theories of particular institutions, including governments, welfare agencies, universities, police organizations, business corporations, and communications and information technology entities. These theories are philosophical and, thus, foundational and synoptic in character. They are normative accounts of a sampling of contemporary social institutions, not descriptive accounts of all social institutions, both past and present. Miller also addresses various ethical challenges confronting contemporary institutional designers and policymakers, including the renovation of the international financial system, the 'dumbing down' of the media, the challenge of world poverty, and human rights infringements by security agencies combating global terrorism.
