More Social Ontology Highlights

I’ve recently posted a short list of social ontology highlights from 2019, but Kirk Ludwig sent me a much more extensive list. I present it here in rearranged form.

Publications

• Tony Lawson: The Nature of Social Reality: Issues in Social Ontology (Economics as Social Theory)
• Angela Condello, Maurizio Ferraris, John Rogers Searle: Money, Social Ontology and Law
• Trish Reay, Tammar B. Zilber, Ann Langley, and Haridimos Tsoukas (eds.): Institutions and Organizations. A Process View
• Holly Lawford-Smith: Not In Their Name. Are Citizens Culpable For Their States’ Actions?
• Luka Burazin, Kenneth Einar Himma, and Corrado Roversi (eds.): Law as an Artifact
• J. Adam Carter, Andy Clark, Jesper Kallestrup, S. Orestis Palermos, and Duncan Pritchard (eds.): Socially Extended Epistemology

SEP Revisions

The following three articles in the SEP received substantial revisions:

• Social Institutions
• Naturalistic Approaches to Social Construction
• Social Epistemology

Events

On top of Kirk’s list was the Social Ontology/ENSO conference in Tampere, which I had already on my list. Otherwise there were three workshops/conferences at Vienna on:

• Social Agency, Group Agency & Relational Normativity
• Group Agency and Collective Responsibility
• Shared Agency, Rationality, Normativity (with Michael Bratman and David Velleman)

There were two events in Milan:

• Adelaide de Lastic “The Political Dimension of an Enterprise’s Collective Agency”, Thursday 28 March 2019
• A Pragmatist take on Social Ontology: Habits, Social Practices, Statuses

Other events:

• The 2019 Pacific APA meeting had a symposium on Kirk’s second book, From Plural to Institutional Agency: Collective Action 2. (With Maria Jankovic and Carol Rovane as commentators)
• Workshop on Social Ontology, Normativity, and Philosophy of Law, Glasgow University Law School, May 30-31
• European Network for Philosophy of the Social Sciences (ENPOSS) in Athens
• The PPE Society meeting in spring 2019 also featured some social ontology papers

Near Future

Kirk also had some forthcoming publications on his list:

• Anika Fiebich’s edited book Minimal Cooperation and Shared Agency has slid into 2020:
• An issue of Language and Communication is coming out on group speech acts but the papers are already available online
• Saba Bazargan-Forward, Deborah Tollefsen (eds.): The Routledge Handbook of Collective Responsibility

That is quite a list and I have to admit that I was not aware of much that Kirk found. I hope others can benefit from it as well.
