About This Quote
Communal is to be something fallacious. It is to be something more or less than being, a subjugation or propagation of the self to exist within the external condition. Augustine’s definition of communal is very clear in his thought. He is saying that to be communal is not to be something which belongs to something else, but instead it is to be something which does not exist outside of oneself.
