Common Good, Vulnerability, Trust, Catholic Social Doctrine, RecognitionAbstract
The article poses three questions with regard to the common good – why acare avout the common good? Which good(s)? Whose good? The article identifies responses to these questions in Catholic Social Thought, making use of Gaudium et Spes 26. It discusses the meaning and experience of vulnerability as reaction to the first question (we need to pursue the common good since we are all vulnerable), the importance of trust as reaction to the second question (we need to invest in mutual and communal trust as the fundamental expression of hte common good) , and the role of recognition as the response to the third one (we need to recognize the other as neighbor,, even on a global level).
