| Summary: | The Common Good and Christian Ethics rethinks the ancient tradition of the common good in a way that addresses contemporary social divisions, both urban and global. David Hollenbach draws on social analysis, moral philosophy, and theological ethics to chart new directions in both urban life and global society. He argues that the division between the middle class and the poor in major cities and the challenges of globalisation require a new commitment to the common good and that both believers and secular people must move towards new forms of solidarity if they are to live good lives together. Hollenbach proposes a positive vision of how a reconstructed understanding of the common good can lead to better lives for all today, both in cities and globally. This interdisciplinary study makes both practical and theoretical contributions to the developing shape of social, cultural, and religious life today. Part I. Situations -- The eclipse of the public -- Problems tolerance cannot handle -- Part II. Frameworks -- Recovering the commonweal -- Religion in public -- Christianity in a community of freedom -- Intellectual solidarity -- Part III. Directions -- Poverty, justice, and the good of the city -- The global common good |
