To understand many of our everyday joint actions we need a theory
of skillful joint action. In everyday contexts we do numerous
things together. Philosophers of collective intentionality have
wondered how we can distinguish parallel cases from cases where we
act together. Often their theories argue in favor of one
characteristic, feature, or function, that differentiates the two.
This feature then distinguishes parallel actions from joint action.
The approach in this book is different. Three claims are developed:
(1) There are several functions that help human agents coordinate
and act together. (2) This entails that joint action should be
understood through these different, interrelated, types of
coordination. (3) A multidimensional conceptual space, with three
levels of control and coordination, will allow us to connect these
different forms of coordination and their interdependencies. This
allows us to understand the jointness of an action in a more
differentiated and encompassing way. This approach has
ramifications for several distinctions that are typically
understood to be binary, including those between action and mere
bodily movement, joint action and parallel action, and action
together and not together.
