Communication doesn't always create something in common. A person communicates with themselves, but not in order to create a community with themselves. The community already exists, a complete, 100% community of a person with their inner self, their soul. Communicating with oneself realizes the potential inherent in this inner unity. On the contrary, communication as knowledge excludes the establishment of any community between the knower and the known. The scientist has nothing in common with what they study, and cannot have anything in common. Pantheism and Romanticism attempt to correct this. The opposition between the knowing subject and the known object seems false, inhuman, and soulless. Quite the contrary: such an opposition protects the uniqueness and freedom of the human being.
