 For List and Pettit (2011) a group can be an agent if it has representational states, so that it can form beliefs, and motivational states so that it can possess desires. It must also be capable of processing and acting on its beliefs and desires and of attaining a minimal level of rationality, particularly consistency, in the way its attitudes connect with one another and with its environment. Organized groups, such as states, churches, commercial corporations and voluntary associations, can, they argue, satisfy those conditions and so be agents. The attitudes formed by such groups supervene on those of their individual members but are not reducible to those of their members. A group can therefore possess agency as a group.
