Concepts of Sharedness: Essays on Collective Intentionality

This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the Fifth
Conference on Collective Intentionality held at the University of Helsinki August 31 to September 2, 2006 with two additional contributions. The common aim is to explore the structure of shared intentional attitudes, and to explain how they underlie the social, cultural and institutional world. Contributors explore the phenomenology and concept of sharedness, and also various aspects of the structure of collective intentionality in general,and of the intricate relations between sharedness and normativity in particular. Concepts of Sharedness shows how rich and lively the philosophical research on this topic has become, and will provide further inspiration for future work in this rapidly evolving field.
