The book provides a rigorous analysis of what Tuomela calls the 'we-perspective'. There is much to admire in the book, especially the distinction between the I-mode and the we-mode participation in collective activities and the argumentation that the we-mode is vital for understand-ing the nature of the social world. --
Analysis A highly original and significant contribution to an important philosophical problem. Highly recommended. --M.A. Michael,
CHOICE Raimo Tuomela's most recent book significantly advances his ongoing research program into the full range of the social aspects of human life. Like his previous work,
The Philosophy of Socialityis written with extraordinary analytic rigor.... Tuomela's account of sociality deserves the attention of, and a careful read by, anyone interested in the growing literature on social groups, collective intentionality, and the philosophy of social science. --Kenneth Shockley,
