Charliss, I am in general agreement with the points you make so eloquently. I would take some exception to parts of the contention below, which I find too categorical: >>Any attempt to build union or create community by starting with the common good as the focal point fails because at the start of any endeavour the "common good" is non-existent. It is not a thing that can be pointed at and where we can say there it is. With the individual, we can do this.<< First of all it may be impossible to isolate the "start of an endeavor," since most endeavors exist in a complex of continuing contexts and processes. For example, when dependence was declared from England, a general common good was articulated in the Declaration of Independence, even though many might consider that the start of the US. But in a more specific sense and context, I can see your point.
