Summary/Abstract: The article serves to clarify the origin and meaning of the terms conviviality and convivialism and highlights the various layers of social reality that are related to the two terms. The main part of the text addresses the concept of conviviality, as used by Ivan Illich, and the updating thereof by the circle of authors and supporters of the first (2013) and the second (2020) convivialist manifesto, which seeks to set out the ideology of convivialism. Convivialism seeks to formulate the common humanistic foundations of modern emancipatory currents and spiritual traditions. The connection between conviviality and the concept of nongrowth is also addressed.
