集体意图的演化动力模型

Evolutionary Dynamic Model of Collective Intention

集体意图的本体论研究是关于集体行动的形而上学的核心论题之一,而对于集体意图的本体论地位的界定是集体意图的本体论研究的关键。长期以来,集体意图在本体论层面上到底是一种原初性的意图模式,还是应该被还原为个体意图与个体信念的叠加,这一问题成为了学界争论的焦点。文章试图从社会认知与文化进化的交叉视角入手,为集体意图的产生和演化刻画一个较为完整的演化动力模型,从而在本体论层面上对集体意图的原初性做出一种较为温和的辩护,并通过该论证指出在协同进化框架中行动哲学研究的一些发展思路。

The research of ontology of collective intention is one of the core issues in the metaphysics of collective action, and also how to identify collective intention is the most controversial question. Some researchers reduce collective intention into individual intention and individual belief, but others take it as a primitive intention which can not be reduced. This paper plans to propose a more complete evolutionary dynamic model of collective intention in the perspectives of social cognition and cultural evolution, which can be a modest justification of the primitiveness of collective intention. In the end, this paper proposes some possible further approaches of the research to philosophy of action in the framework of co-evolution.
