Abstract:
The we is an integral part of everyday life: We solve tasks, reach decisions, and share emotions together, just as we can share a collective identity, traditions and customs. What is the nature of this we? The book discusses this question by drawing on insights from not only philosophy, but also sociology, anthropology, and social psychology
