ABSTRACT
The problem of the common good in our democratic world is grounded on the
epistemic realism of human relation. This paper aims at an analysis of politics
in relation to normative philosophy, particularly as a foundation that can
ensure the common good in human democratic society. Politics is aimed at the
common good of the people and that characterizes its normative context. The
existential–cum–pragmatic reality of the common good expresses the fact that
politics is ultimately and fundamentally an anthropological constant of
contemporary society.
