Collective intentionality is one of the key concepts in social ontology in terms of which the basic constitution of all things social is nowadays discussed. It is closely related to themes like mutual belief, joint action, collective responsibility, and shared emotion. Social ontology in philosophy also draws on and contributes to research in many other disciplines, including theoretical sociology, law, economics, cognitive science, psychology, anthropology and political science. This workshop brings together Australian and international researchers working in these fields. Program Day 1.
