Life in Groups: How We Think, Feel, and Act Together develops and
applies the author's perspective on topics she relates to joint
commitment. This kind of commitment unifies those who participate
in it, guides their actions going forward, and determines their
relations to one another in important ways. In particular, it
grounds in each of the parties a set of rights and obligations of a
central kind. This volume contains thirteen essays, together with a
substantial introduction, which serves both to explain joint
commitment for those unfamiliar with it and to advance discussion
in light of some questions it has prompted, and a reflective
conclusion. The essays range over collective beliefs and
intentions; rational choice and collective preference; group lies
and corporate misbehavior; remorse and other emotions in a group
context; rights, obligations, and freedom.
