Abstract

The article analyzes the nature of the Common Good. It traces a historical journey of its concept from Aristotle to the personalist philosophers of the 20th century. It is observed that the primary task of politics today is to humanize itself. Consequently, the demand arises for humanized politicians or politicized humans. To achieve this, three perspectives of the Common Good are explored: as a principle of true social participation, under the regime of the invisible hand, and ethical will that encompasses the Common Good as the Greater Good.
