Abstract

[Communities flourish when they are capable of cooperation. Had we not started to cooperate, to work together, community life would never have begun, and we would have remained stuck at a prehuman level of development. But as is often the case with humanity’s big words, cooperation is at once one and many, it is often ambivalent, and its most important forms are the less obvious ones. Every time human beings act together in a coordinated way to achieve a mutually beneficial common goal we are dealing with an instance of cooperation.]
