Starting from Paul Tillich's theory of the true form of life of religious socialism, it is a matter of analyzing (1) the interior of the cooperative as a social space for the promotion of the living conditions of its members, (2) the cooperative in the social space as the promotion of the living conditions of the social space as networks of a solidary culture of care in the neighborhoods, and (3) the social space itself as a constituted community as a cooperative. Accordingly, it is a matter of a morphology of metamorphoses in concentric growth circles of a diffusion in the context of local/regional services of general interest. The analysis is complemented by a sketch of the idea of the cooperative as an organizational principle on the national, European and international legal level on the other hand.
