RIVAS, Pedro. The Classical Common Good and the State. Díkaion [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.1, e3217. Epub 27-Ene-2023. ISSN 0120-8942. https://doi.org/10.5294/dika.2023.32.1.7.
This study aims to consider whether it is possible to speak of the common good within the parameters of the State; in other words, whether the State and the common good are even compatible. The starting hypothesis is one of incompatibility. We will begin by approaching the original meaning of the common good, which has its roots in classical and medieval traditions. Although numerous authors have adopted this approach, in our case, it is a matter of pointing out precisely those features of the classical common good that will contrast to a greater extent with the theorization of the State. Therefore, this paper prioritizes primary sources. Secondly, to tackle the subject matter of this work, we will examine the radical changes in the anthropological and economic-social assumptions that are contemporary to the theorization and emergence of the State and relevant to understand why it makes no sense to speak of the common good in the framework of the State.
