Don't Start Where Communities Don't Exist

Most people can't relate to the common good or imagine it, because they don't live in a community.

The Public Discourse: Where (Not) to Begin with the Common Good by Mark Hoipkemier

The question “Who are we to become?” is always answered together. In a world where this fact were understood, we would use the grammar of the common good in the course of deliberations about how to act justly. Needless to say, that is not our world. https://t.co/ziSxBwWZcj
