The Routledge Handbook of Collective Intentionality provides a
wide-ranging survey of topics in a rapidly expanding area of
interdisciplinary research. It consists of 36 chapters, written
exclusively for this volume, by an international team of experts.
What is distinctive about the study of collective intentionality
within the broader study of social interactions and structures is
its focus on the conceptual and psychological features of joint or
shared actions and attitudes, and their implications for the nature
of social groups and their functioning. This Handbook fully
captures this distinctive nature of the field and how it subsumes
the study of collective action, responsibility, reasoning, thought,
intention, emotion, phenomenology, decision-making, knowledge,
trust, rationality, cooperation, competition, and related issues,
as well as how these underpin social practices, organizations,
conventions, institutions and social ontology. Like the field, the
Handbook is interdisciplinary, drawing on research in philosophy,
cognitive science, linguistics, legal theory, anthropology,
sociology, computer science, psychology, economics, and political
science. Finally, the Handbook promotes several specific goals: (1)
it provides an important resource for students and researchers
interested in collective intentionality; (2) it integrates work
across disciplines and areas of research as it helps to define the
shape and scope of an emerging area of research; (3) it advances
the study of collective intentionality.
