Abstract
John Searle’s 1990 article “Collective intentions and actions” is now a classic text in the burgeoning field within analytic philosophy that would aptly be named the philosophy of social phenomena. The article represents the core of Searle’s account of social reality or, as he sometimes puts it, social facts, and the foundation of the account of institutional facts on which his famous 1995 book The Construction of Social Reality focuses. The present discussion revisits this article and notes some questions it provokes. It focuses on the first section of Searle’s article, in which its central ideas are laid out.
