Philosophers of collective intentionality have wondered how we can distinguish parallel cases from cases where we act together. Often their theories argue in favor of one characteristic, feature, or function, that differentiates the two. This feature then distinguishes parallel actions from joint action. The approach in this book is different. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThree claims are developed: (1) There are several functions that help human agents coordinate and act together. (2) This entails that joint action should be understood through these different, interrelated, types of coordination. (3) A multidimensional conceptual space, with three levels of control and coordination, will allow us to connect these different forms of coordination and their interdependencies. This allows us to understand the jointness of an action in a more differentiated and encompassing way. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis approach has ramifications for several distinctions that are typically understood to be binary, including those between action and mere bodily movement, joint action and parallel action, and action together and not together. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Martens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110996774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110996777\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Judith Martens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078803878143,"sku":"9783110996777","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_633c5c9b-08d8-4c83-a6ff-5f998a9ec59c.jpg?v=1685477615","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/doing-things-together-judith-martens-9783110996777","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
