DE LOS RIOS URIARTE, María Elizabeth. The common good: a false dilemma?. Med. ética [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.2, pp.433-471.  Epub 21-Ago-2023. ISSN 2594-2166.  https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2020v31n2.05.

The article addresses the problem of thinking of the common good as something alien to the individual good and provides reflections that overcome this dichotomy through Maritain’s thinking by betting on a harmony between the first and the second so that individuals and society can complement each other and seek their own development and improvement. Similarly, the reflection on the common good is complemented by reading from the principles of the Christian Social Doctrine to complement it.
