"L’en commun est une notion récente, promue par la phi­lo­so­phie poli­ti­que anti-tota­li­ta­riste. Elle est liée à la démocra­tie et notam­ment à la cri­ti­que métaphy­si­que et phi­lo­so­phi­que des tota­li­ta­ris­mes après la Seconde Guerre mon­diale. En référence à Heidegger et à Jaspers, c’est Hannah Arendt qui contri­bue à élabo­rer la notion en lui don­nant le sens de création d’un espace public inter-humain où la liberté peut apparaître. Une fois conquis contre les asser­vis­se­ments et les enfer­me­ments – y com­pris dans des révolu­tions – l’en commun rend alors pos­si­ble l’expérience humaine du sens col­lec­tif et de l’action poli­ti­que ; ce qu’elle nomme une « agora du sens »."
