Sociality and Responsibility: New Essays in Plural Subject Theory

Sociality and Responsibility develops and extends the application of Gilbert's plural subject theory of human sociality, first introduced in the earlier works "On Social Facts" and "Living Together". Demonstrating the extensive range and fruitfulness of plural subject theory Gilbert presents accounts of social rules, scientific change, political obligation, collective remorse, collective guilt, shared intention, and an important class of rights and obligations.
