Whatever became of the notion of a 'common good'? Ethicists and theologians lament the decline in public life of the importance of this concept, so central to the character of civil society and so crucial for the flourishing of individuals within it. In our own culture, the promotion of the common good has always served as a valuable corrective to the American proclivity toward individualized morality and laissez-faire economics. One of the most prominent voices in the promotion of the common good over the past half-century has been David Hollenbach, S.J., who has mentored a generation of moral theologians to practice social ethics under the sign of the cross. Brought together in this volume are many of his colleagues and former students, to honor him and include their own voices alongside his work.
