论集体意向性及其在社会生活中的地位

要深入研究集体意向性，必须先回答四个问题：“意向性”为何物？意向性为什么可以是“集体”的？集体意向性有何种神经生理学基础？“集体意向性”为何重要？意向性是心灵借以指向、涉及或关于其自身以外的事物或事态的结构性特征；关于集体意向性的分析必须摆脱笛卡儿“我思”的幽灵，走出个体主义和还原性的分析，而坚持一种非还原性的整体主义；人脑“镜像神经元系统”的发现为集体意向性的存在提供了神经生理学的基础；自我、语言、规范、制度性事实都必须通过集体意向性而产生，没有集体意向性就没有任何形式的社会生活。

On the Collective Intentionality and Its Roles in Social Life

To explore collective intentionality in detail,we must answer the following four questions : What is intentionality. How can intentionality be collective. What is the neurophysiological foundation for collective intentionality . Why is collective intentionality important .Intentionality refers to the aspects of mental states by which they are directed at,or about,or of states of affairs in the world beyond themselves .To analyze collective intentionality,we should abandon the Cartesian specter of ″ego cogito,″break away from individualism and reductive analysis and return to irreducible holism .The discovery of mirror neuron system in the human brain lays a neruophysicological foundation for collective intentionality .No form of social life could exist without collective intentionality since it gives birth to social self,language,normative and institutional facts .
