|Abstract=The Group Mind Thesis—understood as the claim that groups as a whole
can be the subjects of mental states—was a popular idea in the intellectual
landscape of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.2 For many
scientists and philosophers of that period, it provided a succinct expression
of what they perceived to be two characteristic features of groups: on the
one hand, their ability to function as collective agents who can have intentions,
make decisions, and pursue their own goals; on the other hand, the
idea that groups are emergent wholes which are more than the sum of its
members. Combine the two features, and the functional analogies between
individual and group behavior strongly suggest adopting an intentional
stance towards both.
