Shared Intentionality, joint commitment, and directed obligation

Margaret Gilbert. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

Tomasello frequently refers to joint commitment, but does not fully characterize it. In earlier publications, I have offered a detailed account of joint commitment, tying it to a sense that the parties form a "we," and arguing that it grounds directed obligations and rights. Here I outline my understanding of joint commitment and its normative impact.
