The metamorphosis. Community and modal ontology

Abstract

The article wants to read the debate around «community» starting from aristotelic categories. Using as example the concept of «inoperability», that must be considered as suspension of platonic-aristotelic paradigm of ergon. What Nancy and Negri would have done is to radicalize the aristotelic paradigm to a point of complete transforming the notions of potentiality and actuality, also transforming their relation. En this sense, «compearance» in Nancy and Bailly would coincide with potentiality, which would open a series of problems that the text deal with, en particular the event and the being-in-common through the notion of metamorphosis.
