Summary
Helmuth Plessner: The Limits of Community
Critique of Social Radicalism
The forthcoming writing is not only addressed to the professional philosophical world. Its form is more flexible than the significance of the questions raised allows, in order to be accessible to those who come to its problems not from science, but from life itself. The antithesis community-society has been the focal point of public discussions for years, especially in Germany. The approach to cultural-political, pedagogical-political and economic-political topics depends on the results of this discussion. The relationship between politics and morality, which have been discussed again since 1914, the issue of revolution and the idea of social renewal, as well as the opposition of culture and civilization in the recent philosophy of decadence, have a point of contact in the problem of the relationship between community and society.
