Abstract

This essay develops three thesis. First, that the expel of averroism from the University of Paris at 1277 constitues the decisive event that will deprive from western modernity the posibility for a comuntarian thougth; second, although this expel, averroism will come back with different names to stablish the potenciality of thought as the place were something like an in-fantia take place; third, the last of those returns has been by the name of what we call the “contemporary philosophy” that assumes the thesis that man is not the animal who speak, but the one who can speak. That´s why the return of averroism suppose a new interpellation of the relationship between man and comunity, life and politics.
