Having sex together
Good sex makes much of contemporary joint action theory look bad. Having sex is typically a joint intentional activity – having sex together –, but established theories of acting together seem rather ill equipped for application to the case. Having sex together – and doing it well – it is neither acting on a big plan nor a structure of obligations constituted by a joint commitment. This paper argues that an adequate theory of joint intentional ac…
The Philosophy of Fanaticism: Epistemic, Affective, and Political Dimensions
"The essays in this volume explore some of the disconcerting realities of fanaticism, by analyzing its unique dynamics, and considering how it can be productively confronted. The book features both analytic and continental philosophical approaches to fanaticism. Working at the intersections of epistemology, philosophy of emotions, political philosophy, and philosophy of religion, the contributors address a range of questions related to this incre…
Philosophy of Fanaticism: Epistemic, Affective, and Political Dimensions
Radical Collective Responsibility and Plural Self-Awareness
Radical responsibility is the idea that as agents, we are what we decide to do, and we are therefore – in a radical sense of the word – responsible for who we are. Radical responsibility should be understood as self-determination through pre-reflective self-awareness where such radical responsibility applies to us jointly as well as individually. It is not just the case that each of us is radically responsible for who he or she is; rather, we, to…

Being Well Together – Aristotle on Joint Activity and Common Sense
Social Capital, Social Identities: From Ownership to Belonging
Current research on social capital tends to focus on an economic reading of social relations. Whereas economists pride themselves on reaching out to social theory at-large, sociologists criticize the economization of the social fabric. The concept of social capital serves as a touchstone for the study of the role of the economy in modern societies. It serves as a breach for expanding the reach of economic categories, yet it also yields the opport…

Heidegger-Handbuch: Leben – Werk – Wirkung
Er ist umstritten wie kein Zweiter. Und dabei gilt Martin Heidegger neben Wittgenstein als der bedeutendste Philosoph des 20.Jahrhunderts. In detaillierten Beiträgen werden hier alle Werke und alle wichtigen Themen Heideggers vorgestellt. Die Autoren zeigen auf, wie Heideggers Philosophie in besonderer Weise Alltäglichkeiten und aktuellen Ereignissen seiner Zeit zugeneigt war. Zugleich hat er jedoch die zentralen Probleme der philosophischen Trad…

The Idiocy of Strategic Reasoning. Towards an Account of Consensual Action
Practical reasoning is an agent's capacity to determine her course of behavior on the base of some evaluation of available alternatives. Reasoning is instrumental insofar as an agent decides over available alternatives by aiming to choose the best means to realize her own goals. Reasoning is strategic if the agent assumes that what the best means to realize her own goals is depends on what other agents will do. Strategic reasoning still plays a c…
Collective Epistemology
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal...” This collection of essays addresses a philosophical problem raised by the first clause of these famous words. Does each signatory of the Declaration of Independence hold these truths individually, do they share some kind of a common attitude, or is there a single subject over and above the heads of its individual members that possesses a belief? “Collective Epistemology” …
Qu’est-ce qu’un collectif: Du commun à la politique
Qu'est-ce qu'un collectif ? L'usage, volontaire, du substantif suggère que « collectif » renvoie non pas à une qualité, à un mode d'action ou à un type de processus, mais à une personne, un individu ou un sujet collectif. Donnant la parole à des auteurs de différents pays et de diverses traditions de pensée, les textes rassemblés font le point sur les débats, actuellement vifs en philosophie et en sciences sociales, concernant l'analyse des colle…
Plural Action: Essays in Philosophy and Social Science
Rationality and Commitment
13 leading philosophers and economists discuss the Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen's trenchant critique of rational choice theory, and propose their own answers to the question of how to account for the rationality of committed action
Plural Action
In this paper, I distinguish three claims, which I label individual intentional autonomy, individual intentional autarky, and intentional individualism. The autonomy claim is that under normal circumstances, each individual's behavior has to be interpreted as his or her own action. The autarky claim is that the intentional interpretation of an individual's behavior has to bottom out in that individual's own volitions, or pro-attitudes. The indivi…

Evolution by Imitation: Gabriel Tarde and the Limits of Memetics
Meme theory confronts us with a rather unflattering image of ourselves. In Daniel C. Dennett's words, conscious selves are nothing but the ‘vehicles’ or ‘nests’ of the true heroes of the evolutionary story of culture, the memes. In the memetic view, cultural evolution is not about ‘us’, but about ‘them’: the units of culture such as the ones mentioned by Richard Dawkms: “tunes, ideas, catch-phrases, clothes fashions, ways of making pots or of bui…
Rationality-in-Relations
If in a game with multiple proper coordination equilibria there is a single one that is best for all participants, it isrationalfor each participant to choose the strategy that has the best equilibrium as one of its possible outcomes. This seems so obvious that any plausible theory of rationality should be expected to be applicable to such situations. However, this is not true for the "orthodox" theory of rational choice, as Robert Sugden has con…

Nostrism’: Social Identities in Experimental Games
In this paper it is argued that a) altruism is an inadequate label for human cooperative behavior, and b) an adequate account of cooperation has to depart from the standard economic model of human behavior by taking note of the agents’ capacity to see themselves and act as team-members. Contrary to what Fehr et al. seem to think, the main problem of the conceptual limitations of the standard model is not so much the assumption of selfishness but …
