Human Dignity and Liberal Politics

Více o knize

Focusing on the concept of the common good, this book clarifies its meaning through Aristotelian philosophy, Catholic Social Thought, and political liberalism. It argues that embracing the common good does not conflict with liberalism, countering the polarization often seen in contemporary discussions. The text emphasizes dialogue, as encouraged by the Second Vatican Council, and introduces criteria for applying the common good: inclusivity and recognition of all aspects of human welfare. These principles support discussions on democracy, human rights, and religious liberty within a diverse political landscape.
