Abstract

This article intends to problematize, based on Gadamer's approach to praxis, the recovery of a notion of citizenship compatible with the current demands of understanding, a key issue of philosophical hermeneutics. Such questioning of the condition of citizen indicates a possibility of thematization of the basic situation of being-in-the-world-with-others (togetherness) that, therefore, is considered as one of the fundamental aspects for the reflection about the city as a space of linguistic and communitarian experience of basic coexistence with others. This task is situated in a shared contemporary moment, marked by the inability to 'dialogue', making it difficult to maintain the common citizen condition itself. Thus, discussing the relationship between citizenship and urbanity emerges to rethink our dialogical way of being, the existential basis of the relationship with others around what is common.
