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. |
 | | Common goods should not be confused with another subtype of public goods: the collective goods (also known as social goods), which are defined as goods that could be delivered as private goods, but are delivered instead by the government for various reasons (usually social policy). |
