Abstract

This paper develops an approach to the relationship between education and common good from the theoretical contributions by Canadian philosopher Bernard J. F. Lonergan (1904-1984) on his proposal of an ethics of achievement in opposition to an ethics of law. We describe and analyze the components that Lonergan considers as the fundamental parts of human good: skills, beliefs, feelings, values, cooperation, progress and decline. We also present the dynamic structure of human good as an object in its three levels: the particular good, the good of order and value. Making a transposition of this structure of human good, this article proposes to consider education as a part of the human good under construction, Both elements (the components of human good and the levels of its structure) are related in a methodological matrix that may help to create measurement indicators of common good un the field of education.
