Abstract
Most of our actions are social in the wide sense that they conceptually presuppose the existence of other agents and various social institutions. Of actions that are social in this sense, some are performed by single agents while the rest are either performed jointly by several agents or performed by collectives of agents. Here I understand that an action’s being performed jointly by several agents, and its being performed by a collective of agents, are not the same thing. Actions that are performed jointly by several agents we shall call multi-agent actions and also social actions proper. Multi-agent actions are of course social in the above wide sense. Examples of such multi-agent actions would be two or more agents’ (jointly, rather than separately) carrying a table upstairs, playing tennis, toasting, or, at the other extreme, performing a political revolution.
