This paper examines and compares the ways in which mind of the forms “I intend” and “we intend” is subjective. It is argued that that mind of the form “I intend” is subjective in that it is self-known. The sort of knowledge at stake here is special in that it is self-identifying, self-validating, self-committing, and self-authorizing. It is further argued that in spite of apparent differences, mind of the form “we intend” is subjective in the same way. The self-knowledge at work here is plural rather than singular. This supports a plural subject account of collective intentionality. It is argued that the worries sometimes raised in the literature against the metaphysical “spookiness” of plural subjects are due to a fundamental misconception of the way in which either form of mind is subjective.
