Abstract
This paper focuses on one of the major controversies about the explana-tion of collective action. The discussion revolves around the possibility of ascribing intentions to groups, understanding these intentions as distinct from the mere sum of group members’ individual intentions. In the literature on this subject we can identify two main lines of explanation of collective inten-tions: one that reduces group intentions to the sum of individual intentions and another that appeals, through a variety of strategies, to some kind of plu-ral subject or collective consciousness. Based on the notion of shared inten-tion, Michael Bratman has offered an interesting and successful alternative to both views. My goal is to present and analyse that notion of shared intention, explaining why it is interesting to consider Bratman’s proposal
