What is Community? Is It Necessary? The End of Community as Being and the Necessity of Community Building

We often use terms like family community, village community, and local community. The word “community” is used in various ways worldwide and generally brings a positive meaning. However, it’s essential to question whether we truly experience a sense of “community” in the many contexts where the term is used. With the disappearing of traditional family and village conception and the rapid advancement of mobility technology leading to a more anonymous and fluid society, it could be argued that the tangible, fixed being of the community has faded away. Nevertheless, this lecture emphasises the necessity of forming a community as a utopian ideal in modern society. This lecture aims to highlight the significance of community movements that promote “cooperation” and “inclusivity,” which are difficult to achieve in today’s fluid and anonymous society, alongside illustrating cases of such movements.
