Social Phenomenology brings together insights from the tradition of
phenomenology and recent discussions of collective intentionality.
In doing so, it offers a unique account of how consciousness is
formative of the social world. That is, how our thinking things to
be so can, in some cases, actually make them so. For instance, that
the money one uses day in and day out is worth something is not
because of its physical characteristics, but because we accept that
those physical traits, printed by the right institutions make it
so. The book argues for a position between atomism and
collectivism. That is, the book denies there is any such thing as
collective consciousness, while also denying the atomic conception
of subjects which views subjects as islands unto themselves, free
of relation to others.
