The Common Good. by philoedu(m): 4:35pm On Nov 07, 2021
I thought l could have proceeded to write the second part of the JHA, but unfortunately, for whatever reason, l could not wait to do exactly just that, as the current topic tends to impose itself upon my mind with no option but to just move on.
However, the very notion of the common good can provide what one may call the touchstone of domestic programs with hopeful and realistic favorable economic conditions. As it were, wherever such spirit of the common good is tenable, it must be without resulting in any excessive consumption more than can be affordable and necessary.
But there be a need for vision in the reshaping of any public opinion against any such direction.
Such vision is necessary in a decaying society in its continued emancipation in the individualistic tendencies, without a moment of self-evaluation. The self-evaluation is based on what kind of projection for the future, it envisages for the coming generation in correcting all the past ethical blunders to govern effectively.
Because let face it, there is lacking a great deal of what one may call, coherent and inclusive spirit of collective vision, with public philosophy that provide the means of adequate understanding that sympathize with the aim and objective of a just equitable, and ethical concept and tradition, a word of honor and word that guides to good governance.
The same is true, that any such vision must act as a power broker, as it is measured and persuasively advocated with a strong sense of collective aspirations, not necessary with the intent to legitimize the pursuit of self-interest in the form of large scale private acquisitiveness with continues eulogizing, with the result of large scale permissiveness and repression.
Because it is time to embrace the vision for a long-term and viable foundation for a just and equitable society for the sake of the common good. It must be based on significant structural reform as opposed to that technocratic fine-turning system that often fails to address the issue of the concept of the common good.
In the face of the current challenges and in what looks like an intractable situation, no doubt has it's the corresponding opportunity of solutions to look inn-word rather than out-word, in the asking as to whether it is time to have a tangible change of direction of what is appropriate and inappropriate.
However, the theme of the common good, when adequately and effectively represented in words and actions, no doubt, could inject the sense of inclusiveness into the mind that could induce one to view problems from a different perspective.
This can be tenable through the recalling of our common history and records of achievement, why not, Even our failures and defeat that always act as catalyst for any significant and enduring positive change towards a lasting radical reform for the viable reshaping of the system in general for the sake of posterity.
