—Francesco Guala, Professor of Political Economy at the University of Milan, Italy
This welcome collection of essays focuses on Raimo Tuomela’s wide-ranging contributions to the philosophical debates on the nature of joint action and other central social phenomena. The essays helpfully combine exposition and constructive commentary on a variety of aspects of Tuomela’s work by experts in the field.
—Margaret Gilbert, Melden Chair in Moral Philosophy and Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of California, Irvine
Raimo Tuomela blazed a now well-trodden trail in his work on the significance and varieties of collective action. This set of essays offers, not just a deserved tribute to his pioneering achievement, but an insightful overview and appraisal of the many aspects of that work.
