Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book reexamines the concept of a common good, arguing that a focus on individual virtue is insufficient for ethical theory. The author surveys representative ethical systems in order to demonstrate their inadequacy, and to reveal the necessity for a discussion of the relationship between the individual and their community. The author argues that goodness is not something which refers essentially to the individual, but rather that it is an attitude of each person to their neighbor, the promotion of a spiritual unity. This principle of community, the author terms "common good," and argues that it should be the foundation of ethics, drawing on psychology, metaphysics, and a study of inter-subjective intercourse to demonstrate the validity of this principle. The author concludes that fraternal solicitude - protective, parental, and universal - is adumbrated by nature and provides the ultimate justification for the principle of community.
