Abstract

Because of the similar title one might expect similar results as in the preceding chapter. Indeed, corporate social responsibility as a term of remedy—appealing to businesses to take responsibility for humans and nature—easily results in a responsibility trap. Society has to bear the multiple side effects caused by the economy and therefore asks for the possibility to attribute the effects to particular causers. However, this is not possible in a world of selected single causes and aggregated general effects. The traditional problem of attribution paradoxically turns into an expansion of attribution. The semantics of responsibility is indeed important for societal institutions but it has rather few points of interaction with the actual sustainability problem
