Keynote Speakers: Michael E. Bratman (Stanford University)

The research project "The We-Perspective, Social Institutions and Social
Change" (located at the Department of Social and Moral Philosophy, the
University of Helsinki) and the Philosophical Society of Finland invite
papers for the 5th International Conference on Collective Intentionality.

Part of the conference will be devoted to the special theme of collective
responsibility, but papers on any aspect of the theory of collective
intentionality are most welcome to the conference.

Although the theory of collective intentionality has for the most part
been a philosophical affair, also social scientists, psychologists,
cognitive scientists and computer scientists are strongly encouraged to
submit papers to the conference. Please see the conference website for
more information both on the special theme and on the different areas of
research the conference covers. Submission should include an extended
abstract (1500-2000 words)  outlining the argument of the paper and a
separate title page listing the author?s name, address, phone number, and
e-mail address. There should be no identifying information in the body of
the abstract.  Reviewing will be blind and carried out in co-operation
with an international scientific committee formed to support the
collective intentionality conferences.

The material (abstract, title page) should be sent in as an attachment to
an e-mail (preferably in PDF, MS Word, RTF, or PDF format) to the
following e-mail address: collint-v@helsinki.fi. The closing date for
submissions is Wednesday 15th February 2006.

Notification of accepted papers will be sent by 15th April 2006. Full
papers (presentation time strictly no more than 30 minutes) are expected
by 15th June 2006. This is to ensure that the papers can be made available
at the conference website in advance of the conference.

The conference is open to all researchers and scholars. However, all
participants are asked to register by sending an email to
collint-v@helsinki.fi by 15th May 2006. A conference fee (amount to be
confirmed) will be payable at the conference. For more information, please
