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.
