Why is it important?
Offers a psychological account of how groups of people can know things together (common knowledge) so that they can communicate, remember, and think together.
Perspectives
The paradox of common knowledge is discussed across scholarly disciplines as it is critical to a variety of important phenomena—from linguistic communication to strategic cooperation. Here we offer a psychological account of common knowledge, wherein a collective agent allows for a shared world and mind.
