Publications: Contribution to book › Contribution to proceedings › Peer Reviewed

Abstract

Collective Intentionality – the power of our minds to be jointly directed at objects, matters of fact, and values – is a relatively recent addition to the specialized vocabulary of philosophical research. It plays a key role in a series of contemporary debates, especially in social ontology, political philosophy, legal theory, and the analysis of collective responsibility. This paper examines the history of the current debate, and engages critically with some recent views on the origins of the current conception of collective intentionality. This paper is written in honor of Georg Meggle, himself an important contributor to the debate, to whom it is dedicated.
