Joint Intentions Theory

Joint Intentions Theory is a framework in social science and philosophy that explores how individuals coordinate their actions in groups. It suggests that when people work together, they form shared intentions, meaning they not only intend to achieve a goal but also recognize that others share that goal and will collaborate towards it. This theory emphasizes the importance of mutual understanding and commitment among group members, helping to explain cooperative behavior in various contexts, from everyday interactions to organizational teamwork and even large-scale social movements.
