Abstract:
The philosophical visions of the ancient world and the late Middle Ages about community became defining in the development of later perspectives on community. Based on them, all the other theoretical models of the community were drawn up. These ideas, despite the differences, lay the foundations of the political community.
The historical knowledge of the conceptions about the community, offers a source of contemplation and a perspective of reflection on the existing community models in the process of construction of the social policies for the improvement of the contemporary community.
