Sažetak
Togetherness does not occur automatically whenever subjects conjoin in attending and acting. Sharing presupposes understanding, and understanding is dependent on the set of cognitive instances we have defined here as the context of commonality. One of the major mes- sages of this paper is just this: Being merely (physically) together and being attentive is insufficient for sharing, particularly if objects to which we attend or act upon are cultural artifacts. In other words, the carnal alone (no matter how cognitively potent it might be) is insufficient when it comes to human interpersonal relations that include more complex objects, which also come equipped with subjective attitudes, with associations, sentiments, reminis- cences, expectations, guesses, goals, imagination, etc.
