Human beings act together in characteristic ways, and these forms
of shared activity matter to us a great deal. Think of friendship
and love, singing duets, dancing together, and the joys of
conversation. And think about the usefulness of conversation and
how we frequently manage to work together to achieve complex goals,
from building buildings to putting on plays to establishing
important results in the sciences.
With Shared Agency, Michael E. Bratman seeks to answer questions
about the conceptual, metaphysical and normative foundations of our
sociality and to establish a framework for understanding basic
forms of sociality. Bratman proposes that a rich account of
individual planning agency facilitates the step to these forms of
sociality.
There is an independent reason - grounded in the diachronic
organization of our temporally extended agency - to see planning
structures as basic to our individual agency. Once these planning
structures are on board, we can expect them to play central roles
in our sociality. This planning theory of individual agency
highlights distinctive roles and norms of intentions, understood as
plan states. In Shared Agency Bratman argues that appeals to these
planning structures enable us to provide adequate resources for an
account of sufficient conditions for these basic forms of
sociality. Shared agency emerges, both functionally and rationally,
from structures of interconnected planning agency.
