Abstract

Starting from Bruni’s reflection, we contribute to the debate on the commons by linking this concept to the human condition of living within social-biotic communities and proposing love as the commons we should all collectively thrive in. For this, we summarize the biologic foundations of life to build a system-approach framework under which the commons can be better understood. Then, we offer insights on how the commons have been and are being translated into two different aspects of our societies:urban contexts and the breakthrough of new technologies. We conclude this chapter by urging for an expansion of the notion of the commons toward a living experience based on love.
