The Phenomenology of Joint Action: Structure, Mechanisms and Functions

Submission status
Closed

Philosophers, psychologists and neuroscientists have extensively studied the “sense of agency” and other aspects of the phenomenology of individual action. Joint action has been the topic of much work in these disciplines, too, but that work has focused on issues about the structure, ontogenesis and neurophysiology of joint action. The phenomenology of joint action has only recently become a topic of contemporary debate in philosophy and other cognitive sciences. It is the aim of this special issue to promote this emerging interest in the phenomenology of joint action, and to provide an interdisciplinary forum for discussing questions about the structure, mechanisms and functions of our experience of joint action.
