| Summary: | Our human lives involve remarkable forms of practical organization - diachronic organization of individual activity; small-scale organization of shared action; and the organization of institutions. In this book, Michael Bratman argues that the key to these multiple, inter-related forms of human practical organization is our capacity for planning agency. 'Shared and Institutional Agency' develops a planning theory of social rules and puts forth an organized institution as involving authority - according social rules of procedure. The view that emerges sees our capacity for planning agency as a core capacity that underlies not only string quartets and informal social rules, but also the rule-guided structure of organized institutions and institutional agency.
