I don’t mind if you call me old-fashioned when I say that this booklet - published in 1949 in the famous 'Que sais-je' series - captivated me. To me Mounier’s personalistic philosophy has lost almost nothing of his value. I am particularly charmed by Mounier's constant emphasis on the relational nature of being human: the person as a focal point of relationships, relationships with objects and the world, with him/herself and especially with other people (at different levels); it is precisely in this active interaction that the person finds his essence and existence. I tend to see an affinity here with a way of viewing the world that was developed around the same time, namely that of systems thinking (not the hard version of it, which derailed in rigid cybernetics, but the soft one, such as to be found in Edgar Morin and Francisco Varela). I’m also charmed by Mounier’s pleas for activism and sense of responsibility, especially because he points to the efficiency aspect of it, as well as to the spiritual-transcendent foundation (in which he refers in particular to Christianity).

Of course I know that some aspects of this book are now somewhat dated. Mounier’s philosophy was a reaction to the political-ideological (fascism, communism, imperialism) and economic-social (harsh capitalism, proletarisation, materialism) derailment in the first half of the 20th century. In this sense, his personalism is closely related to existentialism (certainly with that of Albert Camus), which knew a broader diffusion but also disappeared almost completely after the sixties. What followed were the successive waves of structuralism and postmodernism in the cultural sphere, and the advance of technocracy in the political-economical sphere, both with their underlying antihumanism. Maybe I’m naïve, but (re)reading this book, and seeing the way in which Mounier recalibrated humanism in a ‘person’ concept that transcends pure individualism is absolutely refreshing.
