States and Communities

Proceedings of the Academy (English series), vol. IX, no. 2

סדרה: Proceedings of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities (English series)
In this lecture, I consider the relative merits of communities and states in modern political life, using examples drawn from the works of Martin Buber (and Gustav Landauer) – most importantly the Israeli kibbutz – and some further examples from European and American history in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. After contrasting communities of production and communities of struggle, I conclude with a qualified defense of the state against Buber’s communitarianism.
