Summary/Abstract: For the author, communitarism appears as an extremely new (although with old roots) political and social doctrine whose main preoccupations are forming and structuring communities, as public actors (submitted inside for the common good) in connection to a communitarian state capable of organizing and refereeing the dynamics of such a community. The interior of these communities is grounded on free association of individuals in view of obtaining the common good, accepted by all as main aim of forming the community. The internal values of the community are respect towards the others and mutual help offered among the members of the community, as well as to other individuals outside it. Towards the state all communities have equal rights and responsibilities, and the abstract sum of the communities represents the historic community-the people or the nation. The communities defend the rights and support the demands of its members towards the state, and through specific methods control the state, accepting at the same time its policies.
