Summary/Abstract: This text analyses the specific Jean/Luc Nancy’s understanding of community, the singular and plural Being and the question of “mondialization”. A small coda added is his note concerning the important subject of Biopo­litics (and bioethics!). Nancy’s attempt at establishing a community is the philosophical construction of an open-ended theoretical, but also of a practical value. Similarly, supporting the singular-plural Being, it is a sign of the attempt of philosophical constitution of a different world, which would be beyond the terror of capital and neo-liberal destruction of the living-world (Lebenswelt) as well as interconnected in relation of Being-together (co-existential analytics). Namely, taking “selfhood” as that Being-constituent, as the foundation of sense/meaning, Nancy want to transform Heidegger’s existential analysis of Here-Being (Dasein) from Sein und Zeit into an all encompassing co-existential analytics. After all, the main question of his efforts is: how to regain community?
