The Dynamic Nature of the Common Good as a Rudimentary Condition for Maintaining Social Resilience
The Dynamic Nature of the Common Good as a Rudimentary Condition for Maintaining Social Resilience

Summary/Abstract: Long-term, harmonious and finally sustainable development of the common good depends on many determinants. Balancing the factors destabilising the durability of diverse common goods takes place while shaping social resilience, which in this study is analysed first from the perspective of the dynamic concept of man, and then in the conditions of the dynamics of the social world. Deepening and expanding the concept of the common good took place due to the environmental foundations of social resilience, which are so important for social life that in terms of ethics and social science, sociological sciences show the conditions for the emergence of the principle of sustainable development as one of many detailed ethical and social principles in Catholic social thought. It ensures proper understanding of socio-environmental interdependencies, conditioned by the implementation of various factors resulting from changing economic processes. Moving from generally understood theoretical approaches in sociological sciences to social practice, the article states the sustainability of the common good, on the one hand, an innovative feature of bonum commune due to the emergence of the category of resilience and social resilience in economic sciences and in environmental and economic interdependencies. On the other hand, social resilience in the current of social philosophy is well explained by classic references to theoretical approaches: political and legal, socio-economic, historical-dynamic and a priori-normative. Social philosophy, which is a life-giving source for Catholic social thought in the face of the concept of economic development, tends to be a highly marginalised ethical perspective. The consequence of the lack of feedback between social ethics and the dynamics of economic development are local or more global perturbations of the common good.
