George H. Smith

“According to Callero, “Freedom of choice and self-determination are virtuous principles, but when selfish individual interests threaten to destroy the common good, the limits of individualism are exposed.”4 Unfortunately but predictably, Callero is vague when it comes to defining “the common good”—a catchphrase with many variations that has been used by murderous dictators throughout history. May we therefore say that the “common good,” when pushed to extremes, results in the likes of Stalin and Hitler?”
