The Search for Community

By David Cernic

This text of philosophical readings explores the theoretical foundations of community. The aim of this book is to develop a broad theoretical framework within which specific ideas about community can be developed and integrated. This framework will not only allow the student and general reader to see the entire historical and conceptual terrain, but will provide a valuable pedagogical tool by which one may participate in the progressive cultivation of these concepts about community. Contents: include: The Pseudo Community; The Repressive Community; The Contractual Community; The Ideal Community; The Functional Community; The Transcendent Community; The Historical/Dialectical Community; and The Spiritual Community.
