| Abstract
|
:
|
This dissertation seeks to promote a more robust understanding of common good themes grounded in certain Jewish, Christian, and Muslim concepts of <i> why</i> individuals ought to participate in the common good and <i>who</i> ought to be served through this participation. This comparative process reveals common good themes that take into account much more than a utilitarian concept measured in individual outcomes. This dissertation presents various common good themes that are rooted in the historically-derived narratives of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to encourage inclusive, value-driven, and adoptable participation in the community. More pointedly, these common good themes, spread across religious traditions, ought to serve as a catalyst to ensure participation for members of society especially related to health and poverty.
