Human Dignity and Liberal Politics

Meer over het boek

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 reject liberalism, countering the polarization seen in contemporary Catholic discourse. Drawing from the Second Vatican Council's Gaudium et spes, it emphasizes dialogue and inclusion, proposing criteria that prevent the exclusion of individuals or aspects of human flourishing. This approach fosters collaboration among diverse worldviews within a liberal political framework.
