Various social epistemologists employ what seem to be rather distinct notions of group rationality. In this essay, I offer an account of group rationality that is able to unify the dominant notions present in the literature under a single framework. I argue that if we employ a teleological account of epistemic rationality, and then allow that there are many different epistemic goals that are worth pursuing for various groups and individuals, we can then see how those seemingly divergent understandings of group rationality are all intimately related. I close by showing how the view has the additional benefit of allowing us to generate practical, normative suggestions for groups in the real world.

统一团体理性

各种各样的社会认识论者采用了似乎很不同的群体理性概念。在本文中，我提供了一种群体理性的观点，它能够在一个单一框架下统一文献中存在的主流观念。我认为，如果我们采用认识论理性的目的论解释，然后允许有许多不同的认识论目标值得各个群体和个人追求，那么我们就可以看到对群体理性的那些看似分歧的理解是如何密切相关的。最后，我将展示该视图如何带来额外的好处，使我们能够为现实世界中的群体生成实用的规范性建议。
