Abstract

The paper deals with the man's role in the society and that of the society itself like men's community called to live in common, to be relational and, of that relationality, to be grater as people and to enrich the society in order to fulfil their own goals with more guarantees. For it is required, prima facie, the establishment of the objective looking to the one that spreads naturally from the community as such; an objective that cannot be another that the good and, more specifically, the very common good; a good that is for the community in its collective dimension and belongs also to each one of the members of it. A good that, so that it gathers such characteristics, has to be located in what is essential in the human person and, because it is essential, it is also common to all the mankind and characteristic of each person. That good, in terms of the most up-to-date language, it cannot be another than that of human development -assumed and consecrated terminology by the United Nations- or, still more precisely, that of integral human development, picked up in the pontifical texts of the social doctrine of the Church. The first come determined by economic variables as the rent or gross domestic product per capita, as well as variables of essential character for the human being's life, like life expectancy, or level and instruction expectancy, whose value is subjected to the available means for it. The second, the integral human development, adds to the above-mentioned components the spiritual and religious values that correspond the man according with its dignity and that wake up in him the fraternity and the solidarity, conforming a more harmonic, more fraternal, more just and more solidary society. The main protagonist of all what we are saying, as it could not be otherwise, is just the man, the human person. The man like author and essential part of the community, the man able to live in common and able to participate in the task of achieving the common goal that, because of his greatness, it cannot be confused neither to be subjected to the means that can be used in each moment for that joint efforts and that common interests. It is of that common construction of which the consent arises to walk together, always having in mind the pursued end and the very wanted good for the community in its collective dimension, as well as for each one of its members in its singularity and in the uniqueness of its material and spiritual dimension.
