DESCRIPTION:Professor Michael Bratman (Stanford University) will give the 
 8th Routledge Lecture in Philosophy.\n\nAbstract: Human beings act togethe
 r in characteristic ways\, and these forms of shared intentional and share
 d cooperative activity matter to us a great deal. Think of friendship\, si
 nging duets\, and the joys of conversation. And think about the usefulness
  of conversation and of how we frequently manage to work together to achie
 ve complex goals\, from constructing buildings to putting on plays to esta
 blishing important results in the sciences. I seek a\nframework for unders
 tanding these basic forms of sociality. And the conjecture I explore in th
 is talk is that structures of individual planning agency are at the heart 
 of such sociality.\n\nThis event is free and open to all.\n
LOCATION: Lecture Theatre\, Trinity Hall.
