Abstract
Given the renewed centrality of the word ‘community’ in the political vocabulary – both theoretical and practical–, this paper aims to articulate an approximation to the use that the communitarian philosophical tradition makes of that concept. To do so, it starts with the semantic conception given by the Romantic tradition of the nineteenth century and, the social sciences of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. After that, the text follows the meaning of the term in the work of Alasdair MacIntyre and Charles Taylor, identifying similarities and differences between their usage of the word and the classic aforementioned conception. This analysis allows to recognize the –often, not explicit– inheritance of the meaning of the community, as well as its resignification in contemporary political philosophy.
