Non-Reductive Views of Shared Intention

This chapter will discuss some of the central currently existing accounts of shared intentions that are available in the philosophical literature on collective intentionality. The focus will be on non-reductive shared intentions, viz. shared intentions that are not individualistically reducible. ¹ I will below mainly focus on the non-reductive accounts of shared or joint intention or, more generally, collective intentions by Margaret Gilbert, John Searle, and Raimo Tuomela, who all have defended important accounts of non-reductive shared (or joint) intentions.
