Abstrakt: AThe article deals with the concept of common good in New Natural Law theory in the conception of its main representative John Finnis. At the beginning it concentrates on the description of common good and its importance in the context of the meaning of human existence. This has clear parallels with the description of common good in current catholic social teaching and it draws significantly from the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas. The article continues with some critical views on Finnis’s description and alternative natural law theory of common good. The importance of the concept of common good in New Natural Law theory is analyzed at the end of the article.
