The concept of shared meaning, shared objectives, shared practice, etc., is known in philosophy as 'collective intentionality'. It's a concept I don't particularly agree with, because I think that assessments that there exists collective intentionality in any given situation are inferences of questionable plausibility. There is certainly nothing like a direct perception of collective intentionality. Still, the idea has caught on in many quarters, and this volume is a review of contemporary literature on the subject. The review, cited here, gives an overview of some of the issues and motivations behind collective intentionality.
