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 sociologists, 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 the 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 MS Word, RTF, or PDF format) to the following e-
mail address: [log in to unmask] The closing date for submissions is
Wednesday 15th February 2006.

15th June 2006. This is to ensure that the papers can be made available at

participants are asked to register by sending an email to collint-
