Common good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The common good is often regarded as a utilitarian ideal, thus representing "the greatest possible good for the greatest possible number of individuals". |
 | | Another definition of the common good, as the quintessential goal of the State, requires an admission of the individual's basic right in society, which is, namely, the right of everyone to the opportunity to freely shape his life by responsible action, in pursuit of virtue and in accordance with the moral law. |
 | | Some assert that promoting the common good is the goal of democracy (in the sphere of politics) and socialism (in the sphere of economics). |
