‘One can have a goal in the knowledge that others also have the same goal,
and one can have beliefs and even mutual beliefs about the goal that is shared by the members of a group,
without there being necessarily any cooperation among the members or any intention to cooperate’
\citep[p.~95]{Searle:1990em}
 
--------
\subsection{slide-4}
What is shared intention?
 
Functional characterisation:
 
shared intention serves to (a) coordinate activities,
(b) coordinate planning, and
(c) structure bargaining

\subsection{slide-5}
1. ‘The notion of a we-intention [shared intention]
... implies the notion of cooperation’
\citep[p.~95]{Searle:1990em}

\subsection{slide-6}
[explain ‘we-intention’]

\subsection{slide-8}
Why is this relevant. Because ...

2. Meeting Bratman’s proposed sufficient conditions for shared intention does not imply that youractions will be cooperative.
 
Bratman says this explicitly.
 
--------
\subsection{slide-10}
Therefore:
 
3. Bratman’s conditions are not in fact sufficient.
 
There are just two problems with this argument
 
--------
\subsection{slide-11}
First problem: how do we know this is true?
 
--------
\subsection{slide-12}
Second problem: what is it for our actions to be cooperative? (Bratman asserts the second premise, but does not provide justification ‘This involves a bit of linguistic leg­islation’.)
 
--------
\subsection{slide-13}
‘This involves a bit of linguistic leg­islation’
\citep[p.~38]{bratman:2014_book}
 
So Bratman thinks that the issue about cooperation is merely one on which we can do ‘linguistic leg­islation’.
 
Perhaps closer attention to the notion of cooperation would be rewarding ...
