«La vie commune : essai d'anthropologie générale» is Tzvetan Todorov's essay on general anthropology, published by Seuil.
Todorov analyzes what it means for human beings to be social and how the self is constituted in relation to others. From Rousseau onward, the individual appears incomplete without the other's gaze; the author combines philosophy, psychoanalysis and literature to explore the desire for recognition, identification, love and a solitude always inhabited by others.
Originally published in 1995, it is part of the collection «La couleur des idées». It includes bibliographic references and an index.
An essay for those interested in philosophy, anthropology and social theory, as well as for followers of Todorov.
