Joint action and the expression of shared intentions: an expanded Taylorian account

posted on 2017-06-01, 00:00 authored by Sean BowdenSean Bowden
After having identified several shortcomings of the so-called 'standard accounts' of shared intentions, this paper will develop a novel framework for understanding such intentions. The framework to be advanced hinges on a notion of ‘expression’, as well as on the claim that shared intentions are expressed—that is, manifested, grasped, shaped and clarified—throughout the unfolding of the joint actions they animate, as well as in the various expressive activities and behaviours that accompany joint action. This claim will be defended with particular reference to the work of Charles Taylor on expression, as well as recent work on embodied cognition.
