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". |
| | These definitions of the common good present it as a quality which is convertible, or reducible, to the sum total of all the private interests of the individual members of a society and interchangeable with them. |
| | 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. |
