Abstract: This paper is Paper 0 of Cooperation Theory: written last, placed first. It lays down no propositions; it only does a few things for those who read this series: it states this series' place in SAE, sets out how far it reads and what its main line is, gives the method and the shared words the papers have in common, interfaces as a whole with several traditions, says once, all together, the directions of colonization read in the papers, sets side by side the two faces that the moment of two-way 15DD shows in Love Theory and in this series, lists together the thirty-eight propositions of the whole series, and registers the remainders that are left over and not closed out. Cooperation Theory is the third branch downstream of SAE Relation Theory, following Love Theory and Marriage Theory, and parallel to Marriage Theory: at the normative layer the two do not conflict; at the rule layer they can differ, because the kinds of relation differ. This series does not define all cooperation; the cooperation it reads has as its premise that at least one party is headed in the 15DD direction, that is, that at least one party recognizes the other as an end too in this undertaking; the direction is a premise, not a component, nor a sufficient condition for entering scope. Under this premise, two people, each for his own purpose, do together one thing that both avow and in which each has a share; neither party holds the purpose and adjudication of this undertaking alone, nor does it automatically produce, above the two, a "we" that legislates for both. The main line, put plainly: You for yours, I for mine, and we do this one thing together. For direction one party is enough; for participation both are needed; in judgment each uses his own. The seven papers read, in order: Doing Together; Each for Their Own Ends; Division of Labor; "We"; One Side; Each Bears a Share; The Process. This paper interfaces as a whole with Hobbes, Kropotkin and Mozi; Rawls and Tomasello are placed only as neighbors, and Kant's perpetual peace is pointed back to the Theory of Inter-State Cooperation. The directions of colonization read in the papers borrow things that are, or may come to be, in a cooperation: avowal; names; division of labor; procedure; giving, reciprocal exchange and contribution; friendship; the name of cultivation, and dependency; exit, and what is said out loud on exiting; and the premise, regarding a third person, of an arrangement the two jointly maintain. These things carry no direction in themselves; the direction is read on the one effect in which they are taken up to do something; each has its own antecedents to be checked first. This paper proves no proposition at the object layer. 这一篇是合作论的 Paper 0,最后写,最先放。它不立命题,只为读这个系列的人做几件事:说明这个系列在 SAE 里的位置,写明它读到哪里、主线是什么,交代各篇共用的写法与同字的词,与几家传统作总对接,把各篇读到的殖民方向合说一次,对照双向 15DD 的瞬间在爱情论与这个系列里的两面,合列全系列的三十八条命题,登记留下来不结的余项。 合作论是 SAE 关系论下游的第三支,接在爱情论、婚姻论之后,与婚姻论平行:两边的规范层不相违,规则层可以因关系的种类不同而不同。这个系列不给一切合作下定义;它读的合作,以至少一方在 15DD 方向上为前提,即至少一方在这件事上认对方也是目的;方向是前提,不是组分,也不是入射程的充分条件。在这个前提下,两个人各为各的目的,一起做一件两人都认下、各有一份的事;这件事不由任何一方独占其目的与裁断,也不自动在两人之上生出一个替两人立法的「我们」。主线的平实说法是:你为你的,我为我的,我们一起做这一件。方向一方就够,参与两方都要,判断两方各用自己的。七篇依次读:一起做;各为其事;分工;「我们」;一端;各担;过程。 这一篇与霍布斯、克鲁泡特金、墨子作总对接,罗尔斯与托马塞洛只作邻接,康德的永久和平回指国家间协作论。各篇读到的殖民方向,借的是合作里已经在或可能形成的件:认下,名义,分工,程序,付出、互换与贡献,交情,涵育之名与依赖,退出与退出时说出口的话,以及两人共同维持的安排对第三人的前提。这几件本身不带方向,方向在它们被拿来做什么的那一次作用上读;每一件各有它要先核的前件。这一篇不证明任何对象层的命题。
