Three Kinds of Collective Attitudes
2014
Social Science Research Network
This paper offers a comparison of three different kinds of collective attitudes: aggregate, common, and corporate attitudes. They differ not only in their relationship to individual attitudes -e.g., whether they are "reducible" to individual attitudes -but also in the roles they play in relation to the collectives to which they are ascribed. The failure to distinguish them can lead to confusion, in informal talk as well as in the social sciences. So, the paper's message is an appeal for disambiguation.
