Abstract
This article reflects on the opportunity to consider the family as a specific subject of personalism. It is articulated as a dialogue around four questions: the person-community binomial, the meaning of sexual difference, the relationship between person and family, the relationship between family and State. It studies Mounier’s A personalist Manifesto (1936) and Karol Wojtyla’s essay The Family as a Communion of persons (1974-75). It highlights the similarities between both authors, mainly the critique of individualism from the centrality of the person, and love as the structural principle and transcendent vocation of the human being. The differences have to do with the interpretation that each author makes of sexual difference and the meaning of family bonds. The author of the article suggests the development of communitarian personalism through the reflection on the duality male-female and the family structure of the person.
