"Ussing common good is impossible without references to its numerous‘‘relatives’’—concepts of public interest, common interest, and public good.Some argue that these notions are interchangeable, some say that they overlapto a degree, and some see them as fundamentally different." (p.554)
"The best political order for Plato was that which promoted social peace in an environment of cooperation and friendship among different social groups, each benefiting from and adding to the common good. In The Republic Socrates argues that the greatest social good, the objective of the law-givers’ activity, is the ‘‘cohesion and unity’’ that ‘‘result from the common feelings of pleasure and pain which you get when all members of a society a reglad or sorry for the same successes and failures.’’
For Aristotle, living a good life was not possible in isolation but rather required association with others, with a larger community, and that made it possible tolive a full life and pursue happiness. Each and every plant, animal, and human had a purpose in life, and to pursue that purpose was the right and natural thing for them to do. In this teleological view of the world, common good was something as objective and unambiguous as a law of nature.
What about the relationship between the individual good and the commongood ? Overall, it is fair to say that in antiquity the common good was considered to be of higher value than the individual good, but it was also assumed that inmost cases the two coincided." (p.555)
