Abstract
A possible answer to the question of social ontology is currently, and has been for some time, the paradigmatic analytical approach. According to this approach, the concept of the social is construed from the perspective of our consciousness's intentionality. The concept is linked either to the intentional content or to the intentional form of our consciousness, i.e. to that which is intended or the way it is intended. The downside of the analysis is an individualistic conception of the one who intends. Among the representatives of individualism, a collectivist conception of the intentional subject circulates as a counter-position which is usually rejected as a spectre. This, however, is a mere external imputation, often blamed on certain authors from the history of philosophy and sociology, above all Hegel. In this paper, I will reconstruct what is meant by collectivism, and I will argue that Hegel neither provides a social ontology nor does he advocate collectivism.

Although contemporary scholarship has established the centrality of Christology, communion, and relational personhood in Joseph Ratzinger’s theological anthropology, little attention has been given to the ontological principle that unifies these themes. This article argues that the analogical grammar of participation...
