Consideration of the recent developments in investigations of shared intentionality in philosophy, economics and psychology reveals important points of theoretical convergence among researchers in these fields as well as an increased awareness of the benefits each may gain from confronting their perspective with the perspectives of neighbouring disciplines. The aim of this workshop is to contribute to this cross-disciplinary fertilization. The workshop will bring together researchers from these three fields and focus on four sets of empirical and conceptual issues where progress may depend on their complementary expertise: (i) early forms of shared intentionality in human ontogeny and their implications for conceptual analyses of shared intentionality, (ii) the cognitive processes and structures of shared intentionality and their relation to those in individual intentionality; (iii) the nature and functions of commitments in shared intentionality and joint action; and (iv) the role of social norms, collective representations and conventions in cooperation and coordination.
