| Sumario: | The conflict between the common good and liberal democracy may or may not exist depending on the meaning attributed to these concepts. Historically, the realization of the common good has been a matter of interest to political thinkers. Moreover, this term has been included in the legal systems of states with a liberal-democratic tendency. This essay therefore harmonizes these concepts and explains how they can be compatible, with an emphasis on Dominique Philippe's theory of the common good. First, there is a theoretical reconstruction of liberal-democratic thought. Next, a historical account of the common good is made, identifying the main philosophical positions that have influenced its understanding at certain stages. Then, Dominique Philippe's understanding of the common good is presented. Finally, the compatibility of the philosopher's position on a liberal democracy is examined. |
