COMMUNITARIANISM



Communitarianism is a philosophy that emphasizes the connection
between the individual and the community. Although the community
might be a family unit, communitarianism usually is understood,
in the wider, philosophical sense, as a collection of interactions,
among a community of people in a given place (geographical location),
or among a community who share an interest or who share a history.

Communitarian philosophy is based upon the belief that a person's
social identity and personality are largely molded by community
relationships : with a smaller degree of development being placed
on individualism.


The term is primarily used in two senses:

Philosophical communitarianism considers classical liberalism to be
ontologically and epistemologically incoherent, and opposes it on
those grounds. Unlike classical liberalism, which construes communities
as originating from the voluntary acts of pre-community individuals, it
emphasizes the role of the community in defining and shaping individuals.
Communitarians believe that the value of community is not sufficiently
recognized in liberal theories of justice.

Ideological communitarianism is characterized as a radical centrist ideology
that is sometimes marked by leftism on economic issues and centrism on social
issues. This usage was coined recently. When the term is capitalized, it
usually refers to the Responsive Communitarian movement of Amitai Etzioni and
other philosophers.

PERSONALISM



Personalism is a philosophical school of thought searching to
describe the uniqueness of 1) God as (Supreme) Person or 2) a
human person in the world of nature, specifically in relation
to animals. One of the main points of interest of personalism
is human subjectivity or self-consciousness, experienced in a
person's own acts and inner happenings—in "everything in the
human being that is internal, whereby each human being is an
eye witness of its own self".


Other principles:

1.Persons have unique value, and

2.Only persons have free will

According to idealism there is one more principle

1.Only persons are real (in the ontological sense).
