Philosophical outlines of the common good and its never-ending division

The common good is the final causality (telos) of living together. Both public order and a public moral virtue participate to its realization. Through a never-ending reference to human solidarity, language articulates its implementation and division. The expression «common good» is a commonplace in political philosophy.

Against legal positivism and Modern natural law, the author provides (in the wake of Villey's thought) to analyse the perenial philosophy of natural law as it was explained in Roman law in the Aristotle/Thomas Aquinas's legal theory
