The present work explains the proposal of Mounier's social, political, christian and ethical
philosophy leaded by his philosophical anthropology which mainstay is the Person conceived
not only in it's personality - essential vocation of existence - but, overall, in it's comunitary
dimension, social/political, transcedental and in the comprehension of the Person like a
human being within another surrounding the idea of comunity as the social structure which
best allows for Human Beings perform their relational natures. Within that proposal, I intend
to discuss Mounier´s main ideas articulated with authors whose influenced directly Mounier's
philosophy like Paul Louis Landsberg, Gabriel Marcel, Max Scheler and Paul Ricouer, going
towards Buber's ideas, which some concepts of his thought have a big approximation with
Mounier's main ideas. The essential elements of Mounier's ideas are the incorporated and
incarnated existence in the world itself, comunication, vocation and freedom. Thus, the
political model which would better support this kind of communinity is the proposal of a
project based in a personalism, which social, political and economic structures are founded in
the primacy of the person, above institutions, political or economic processes and which
person is based in a comunitary being. The path to attain this model would be a permanet
revolution, overall, a spiritual revolution, product of a social and economic decentralization
wich would restructure society utterly.
