Books by Margaret Gilbert

This collection of essays develops the theory of social groups as "plural subjects". Gilbert argues that one must go beyond the prevailing "game theoretic" picture of people acting as independent individuals, to incorporate them as plural subjects bound together by joint commitments.

This text develops and extends the application of Margaret Gilbert's plural subject theory of human sociality, first introduced in her earlier works "On Social Facts" and "Living Together". It presents accounts of social rules, scientific change, political obligation, and collective remorse.

Develops an analyses of a number of central everyday concepts of social phenomena, including shared action, a social convention, a group's belief, and a group itself. This book proposes that the core social phenomena among human beings are "plural subject" phenomena.
