Lecture notes at the Collège de France, 1976-1977 “How to Live Together” is the first of three lecture courses given by Roland Barthes (1915-1980) at the Collège de France in Paris in the late 1970s. In this publication, for the first time, the author's posthumously published lecture notes are translated into Russian, where Barth, relying on data from various sciences (history, philosophy, sociology, semiology, psychology, psychoanalysis, etc.), as well as on works of fiction, explores the relationship people living together, patterns of behavior and understanding of the world that arise in such circumstances. An important, although not the only source of factual material is the history of monasticism in Western Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The publication is equipped with accompanying articles, commentaries and indexes.
