The City Commune — the Origin of our Civilization
Dimitrije Sergejev
Sažetak
Under the wing of our civilization,
as one of its (key elements, a city of
a new 'type, the city commune, is
developing. The author analyses
what is specific to that city. It
developed in the feudal society,
but was in conflict with it from the
very beginning. In the first place,
the city was the home of market
production and financial
transactions, unlike substistance
production in the village and the
large estate. Because the work
carried out in the city was very
different and more complex, it was
necessary to start meditating much
more about man and nature. As new
work relations developed in the city,
new interests and values were
gradually established and new
human relations developed. This
can be seen in many aspects. The
abolition of slavery was one of the
first characteristics to differentiate
the commune from the classical
city.
The history of the commune is also
the very interesting history of the
ecological question, which goes back
to the first beginnings of the Middle
Ages. The most important
characteristic of the commune, one
that the author especially stresses,
is its integrating power. At first the
region around it. Then that region
grew wider and wider, forming a
basis for integration into ever
commune linked the narrow rural
growing human communities. In
that process the commune went
through a great crisis in the 14th
century. At that time some of the
commune’s narrow interests were
repressed and it became oriented to
the wider community. Modern states
are going through a similar crisis
now with relation to the world
svstem of division of labour.
