The Journal of Social Ontology explores the nature of social entities, including collective action, group agency, and institutions. It examines how individuals form collective intentions and reason as a group, and investigates the metaphysical status of social kinds, money, and property rights. The journal also addresses the philosophical implications of social construction, classification, and the attribution of moral responsibility to collective agents.
