The thought of Emmanuel Mounier had developed as a synthesis between the metaphysical exigency of the constitution of the concept of person and the existencial requirements of its own unpredictability and paradox which generally mark the personal life. These concerns of conceptual order, from which Mounier will develop his anthropology, add up to the concerns of material order, that is, Mounier will always try to think the person placed into his social context and realize how the influences of this sphere interfere on personal life’s development. Therefore, we can say the thought of Mounier is better understood when we try to perceive the interconnections between the anthropological and political concerns presented in his philosophy. To Mounier, the person can’t be defined, for it is not an object. However, it possesses personal dimensions that are like traces to penetrate into the personal universe. These are the dimensions (incarnation, communication, and vocation) which become reference to the properly human exist, and such exist (that Mounier calls personal life) becomes the reference to the personalist community understanding. To Mounier the notion of person is only completed with the notion of community, in fact they are complemented ideas, former of a binomial opposed both to individualism and coletivism. To Mounier, the personalist community it’s an ideal, a model that do not perform an achievable realization in this world, but must be anyway a model to our actions in search for a sociability compatible with human dignity. It is precisely in view of the personalist community model and the capacity that each political organization has to make the personal life that Mounier shall distinguish the political and economic systems in personalizers and depersonalizers. Hence emerges his critics to the various totalitarianism and the capitalism, as well as his proposal of a sociability compatible with the personal dignity.
