Social Facts & Collective Intentionality: the combination of these two terms refers to a new field of basic research. Working mainly in the mood and by means of Analytical Philosophy, at the very heart of this new approach are conceptual explications of all the various versions of Social Facts & Collective Intentionality and the ramifications thereof. This approach tackles the topics of traditional social philosophy using new conceptual methods, including techniques of formal logics, computer simulations and artificial intelligence. Yet research on Social Facts & Collective Intentionality also includes ontological, epistemological, normative and - last but not least - methodological questions. This volume represents the state of the art in this new field.
