This sense of others as comrades, this awareness of “having one’s own refuge,” is called “community feeling.”
YOUTH: But what part of this is open to debate? It seems like a completely irrefutable point.
PHILOSOPHER: The issue is community. What does it consist of? When you hear the word “community,” what images come to mind?

PHILOSOPHER: When Adler refers to community, he goes beyond the household, school, workplace, and local society,
