Examining the ontological nature of social groups and the way in which groups should be regarded within moral deliberation, this book makes an original contribution to the field of social philosophy. Sheehy argues for an ontological realism about groups, defending the thesis that groups are composite material particulars, ontologically on a par with individuals and capable of figuring in their own right in descriptions and explanations.
