      abstract = {Theoretical and philosophical work on community has  yielded multifold definitions and analytical frameworks.  Kenneth C. Bessant reflects on the inherent complexity and  diversity of this deeply intersubjective aspect of lived  social experience. He explores the relational underpinnings  of early and more contemporary approaches to the study of  community, with a particular emphasis on their core  assumptions, concepts, and tenets. Each of these  perspectives offers a relatively distinct interpretation of  community, while also revealing the intrinsically  relational fabric of its perpetual emergence, dynamism, and  transformation. The 'being-with' of relational social  existence is the fundamental basis upon which all  conceptions of community are built, and this is the  epicenter around which the book revolves. Community is born  of, exists within, and brings forth social relations. It is  a living expression of relational willing, thinking, and  acting.},
