Resumen
JARAMILLO-VELEZ, Felipe y GARCES-GIRALDO, Luis Fernando. From Plurality to Individuality. Deconstruction of the Concept of Community. Escritos - Fac. Filos. Let. Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.60, pp.68-78. Epub 27-Abr-2021. ISSN 0120-1263. https://doi.org/10.18566/escr.v28n60.a07.
Determined to fight alone, stripped from the security that could be offered by community, human beings of our times have openly embraced their individuality. With such a purpose, consciously or unconsciously, they have decided to decimate the institutions (such as home, school, Church, among others) and to break with the burden imposed by rules, laws and agreements, which they consider are oppressive and limit their personal development. Thus, the article offers a philosophical review of the concept of community and examines the necessity of its reconfiguration as social linking force. This arises as an answer to possible risks associated with the coming of a new individual that adopts her selfhood as the only truth, which leads to not acknowledging otherness and plurality, and to individualism as the only possible way of being.
