Sociality and Responsibility New Essays in

Sociality and Responsibility develops and extends the application of her plural subject theory of human sociality, first introduced in the earlier works On Social Facts and Living Together. Demonstrating the extensive range and fruitfulness of plural subject theory Gilbert presents accounts of social rules, scientific change, political obligation, collective remorse, collective guilt, shared intention and an important class of rights and obligations.
