Abstract
Human beings have a remarkable ability to act in the world
together in a coordinated and cooperative fashion, seemingly in
order to achieve collective goals. Some of the questions this
phenomenon raises are: What are collective goals? Does acting
together inherently involve normative relations such as obligations,
rights, entitlements and duties between the participants? Does it
require an appeal to special intentions that are had by the
participants and that link them together rationally? And, does it
presuppose a distinct form of subjectivity? This workshop brings
together scholars working on the subjective and normative
elements in acting in concert with others.
