Meer over het boek

Exploring the nature of social interaction, Josef Pieper defines three distinct types: community, society, and organization. He emphasizes the intimate bonds of community, exemplified by family, contrasting it with society's reliance on etiquette and privacy, and the utilitarian focus of organization. Inspired by Max Frisch's assertion on societal transformation for peace, Pieper critiques the depersonalization in political systems. His work reflects a deep engagement with fundamental human experiences, showcasing his philosophical clarity and relevance to contemporary political realities.
