The 'civic health' discourse in contemporary politics presupposes an analogy between the lives of communities and the lives of individuals that is often overlooked. This report examines two prominent philosophical conceptions of the life of an individual - the 'episodic' and the 'narrative' - and considers what they can tell us about the lives of communities.The report finds that both conceptions obscure what they seek to disclose: the process of living, and sharing, a life. The episodic conception, according to which a life is a sequence of discrete episodes, ignores the fact that there is more to a good life than a succession of happy moments, while the narrative conception, which interprets a life as an unfolding story, tends to prescribe its preferred way of life in such a way as to frustrate the enterprise of actually living.In order to preserve the 'vitality' of a civic association, it is necessary to assess civic health rather differently: by identifying and promoting the basic form of a meaningful civic life whilst refraining from the effort to specify its content. The story of a healthy civic life must be lived before it can be told.

当代政治中的“公民健康”话语以社区生活和个人生活之间的类比为前提，而这种类比往往被忽视。本报告探讨了两个关于个人生活的重要哲学概念--“情节”和“叙事”，并探讨了它们对社区生活的启示。报告发现，这两个概念都掩盖了它们试图揭示的东西：生活和分享生活的过程。情节观念认为生活是一系列不连续的事件，忽视了一个事实，即美好的生活不仅仅是一系列快乐的时刻，而叙事观念将生活解释为一个展开的故事，倾向于规定其首选的生活方式，以这种方式挫败实际生活的企业。为了保持公民协会的“活力”，有必要以不同的方式评估公民健康：确定和促进有意义的公民生活的基本形式，同时避免具体规定其内容。健康的公民生活的故事必须在被讲述之前经历过。
