Call for papers
Joint Commitment is a key-concept labelled by Margaret Gilbert to understand what we are talking about when we speak of what we do\, think and feel and of our values\, conventions and laws\, and therefore to comprehend the structure of our social world. Joint Commitment is a very powerful concept both for our personal and public lives.
&ldquo\;How is one to understand the sense of unity\, of connection\, the sense of the collective &lsquo\;we&rsquo\;? Given disparate human beings with their own personal beliefs\, strivings\, and so on\, what kind of unity is possible? When we talk about our goals\, beliefs\, values\, and so on&ndash\;what are we talking about?&rdquo\;(Gilbert 2013: 5-6).
The idea of Gilbert&rsquo\;s Joint Commitment covers &ldquo\;a wide range of topics which fall the multifaceted domain of the philosophy of social phenomena&rdquo\; (collective intentionality theory and social ontology). &ldquo\;In so doing they address matters of great significance to several philosophical specialties&ndash\;including ethics\, epistemology\, political philosophy\, philosophy of science\, and philosophy of law&ndash\;and outside philosophy as well&rdquo\; (Gilbert 2013: 1).
