Following up her landmark work On Social Facts, this collection of
essays by noted social philosopher Margaret Gilbert develops and
deepens her theory of social groups as 'plural subjects.' She asks,
how far can our rationality take us when we pursue our personal
goals? What does it mean to be a member of a group? Does group
membership involve obligations and rights, and, if so, how? Gilbert
argues that, in order to understand the social dimensions of human
life, we must go beyond the prevailing 'game theoretic' picture of
people acting as independent individuals, to incorporate their
situation as group members, or plural subjects bound together by
joint commitments. Her new theory of obligation will be of interest
to scholars engaged in empirical research as well as to
philosophers and social and political theorists.
