This my essay aims to demonstrate how the institutions and political thought in the Middle Ages were characterized by a strong communitarianism that thrived within the legal pluralism and political decentralization.

Questo mio saggio mira a dimostrare come le istituzioni e il pensiero politico nel Medioevo fossero caratterizzati da un forte comunitarismo prosperante nel pluralismo giuridico e nel decentramento politico. La comunità medievale era una vera unità, un corpo vivente identificato socialmente e politicamente, basato sulla relazione "organica" tra individuo e gruppo (famiglia, società, villaggio, ecc.). In un nutrito gruppo di pensatori, da Giovanni di Salisbury a Tommaso d'Aquino, da Bartolo da Sassoferrato a Baldo degli Ubaldi, la comunità viene rivendicata come prodotto della naturale inclinazione dell'uomo a condividere con la sua comunità sociale e politica la soddisfazione di bisogni materiali e spirituali.

Abstract
This my essay aims to demonstrate how the institutions and political thought in the Middle Ages were characterized by a strong communitarianism that thrived within the legal pluralism and political decentralization. The medieval community was a real unity, a living body identified socially and autonomous politically, based on the “organic” relationship between the individual and the group (family, corporation, village, etc..). By John of Salisbury to Thomas Aquinas, by Bartolo da Sassoferrato to Baldo degli Ubaldi, communitas is claimed as a product of man's natural inclination to share with his social and political community the satisfaction of their material and spiritual needs.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
