Summary:That we are social beings and that we live, move, and have our being in a community are truisms that need to be reaffirmedtoday as we live in a highly individualised techno-commercialworld. We are not just individuals who are complete in themselves and separate from others and who later for various reasons engage in a variety of relations with other humanbeings.

Society is constitutive of being and becoming a human person.
