How can we work together for the common good today? Thirteen
contributors - Christian, Jewish, Muslim, non-religious - discuss
the common good from a wide range of viewpoints. How have thinkers
like Aristotle and Edmund Burke talked about the common good in the
past? Catholic Social Teaching has a lot to say about the common
good: what does the common good mean for the world's great
religious traditions today? How can we usefully talk about the
common good in a plural society? What responsibility has the state
for the common good? Can the market serve the common good? If we
care about the common good, what should we think - and do - about
immigration, education, the NHS, inequality, and freedom? This book
starts from the example of David Sheppard and Derek Worlock, the
Anglican Bishop and Roman Catholic Archbishop, who famously worked
together for the good of the city of Liverpool in the 1980s. The
contributors call for a national conversation about how, despite
our differences, we can work together - locally, nationally,
internationally - for the common good.
