Bratman argued that shared intentionality should be understood as “a state of affairs consisting primarily of attitudes of each individual participants and their interrelations” . They ‘consist of a web of attitudes of the individual participants’. An intention is shared if it consists of more than one participant. Shared intentions are constructed of individual intentions and the attitudes of the participants. The account first appeared in his work, ‘Shared Cooperative Activity’ (1992), where Bratman used small-scale examples to illustrate his argument. The examples included the case of two friends painting a house together or friends going for a walk. These examples consisted of only a pair of participants.
