The contributions gathered in this volume present the state of the
art in key areas of current social ontology. They focus on the role
of collective intentional states in creating social facts, and on
the nature of intentional properties of groups that allow
characterizing them as responsible agents, or perhaps even as
persons. Many of the essays are inspired by contemporary action
theory, emotion theory, and theories of collective intentionality.
Another group of essays revisits early phenomenological approaches
to social ontology and accounts of sociality that draw on the
Hegelian idea of recognition. This volume is organized into three
parts. First, the volume discusses themes highlighted in John
Searle's work and addresses questions concerning the relation
between intentions and the deontic powers of institutions, the role
of disagreement, and the nature of collective intentionality. Next,
the book focuses on joint and collective emotions and mutual
recognition, and then goes on to explore the scope and limits of
group agency, or group personhood, especially the capacity for
responsible agency. The variety of philosophical traditions
mirrored in this collection provides readers with a rich and
multifaceted survey of present research in social ontology. It will
help readers deepen their understanding of three interrelated and
core topics in social ontology: the constitution and structure of
institutions, the role of shared evaluative attitudes, and the
nature and role of group agents.
