摘要

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. But what is the nature of this we? What does it take to constitute a we with others and how does feeling, thinking, and acting as part of a we, transform one’s sense of self, one’s relation to others, and the way one experiences the world? These questions are discussed in Being We: Phenomenological Contributions to Social Ontology (Zahavi, 2025), which interweaves work on selfhood and first-personal experience, social cognition and collective intentionality, and provides a novel account of the complex interrelation between we, you and I. The following précis presents the main philosophical ideas of the book.
