Crepe ontologiche della comunità

Abstract

Referring to the so-called Böckenförde’s “dilemma” and following Guglielminetti’s analysis, the ontological inhomogeneity of community is presented as the condition for the existence of community itself. It marks an ontological drama which calls upon both the subject and the community as poles of an inalienable and responsible relationship. Thus, the model of community as an ontologically compact reality has to be replaced by a different paradigm according to which community is characterized by ontological splits which are necessarily unavoidable in order to meet the constant tensions menacing the empirical existence of the “communitary being”.
