Abstract:

This course presents basic concepts about individual and collective intentionality. We will discuss some important logical theories developed in the last two decades to formalize individual and collective attitudes such as knowledge, belief (i.e. explicit and implicit belief), intention, group intentions, group beliefs (i.e. distributed belief, common belief, social acceptance). The course is also devoted to clarify the philosophical foundations of such concepts. In the first part of the course we will focus on individual attitudes. In the second part of the course we will focus on collective attitudes.
