What reliably characterizes political decisions that serve the common good? Based on insights from ethics and the political sciences, the author develops a theory that integrates procedural and substantive criteria to define the common good. The theory suggests that political decisions serve the common good when they are democratically authorized and do not violate minimum standards in terms of interests and processes.

Was macht gemeinwohldienliche Politikentscheidungen aus, und wie lassen sie sich sicher identifizieren? Gestützt auf Befunde der Ethik und der Politikwissenschaft, entwickelt der Autor eine Theorie, die prozedurale und substantielle Gemeinwohlkriterien integriert. Diese besagt, dass Politikentscheidungen dem Gemeinwohl dienen, wenn sie demokratisch autorisiert sind und interessen- und verfahrensunabhängige Mindeststandards nicht verletzen.

This paper answers Claus Offe's question about the social referent of the common good, i.e., what kinds of entities are beneficiaries of common good-related public policy. I reject two individualistic answers, according to which the reference point of the common good is the totality or majority of individual community members, respectively. Instead, I opt for a holistic answer, according to which the community qua social entity is the beneficiary of the common good.

Der vorliegende Aufsatz beantwortet die von Claus Offe aufgeworfene Frage nach der sozialen Referenz des Gemeinwohls, also danach, welche Arten von Entitäten als Nutznießer gemeinwohlorientierter Politik infrage kommen. Ich weise zwei individualistische Antworten, wonach der Referenzpunkt des Gemeinwohls in der Gesamtheit beziehungsweise Mehrheit der Gemeinschaftsmitglieder besteht, zurück. Stattdessen optiere ich für eine holistische Antwort, wonach das Gemeinwesen qua soziale Entität Gemeinwohlträger ist.

Can political philosophy provide a definition of the concept of the common good that allows us to distinguish between correct and incorrect uses of that term? The dominant theoretical paradigm of proceduralism holds that the common good can be defined exhaustively as the output of a normatively and functionally adequate political system. I argue that this paradigm is unconvincing. Instead, I propose an integrative theory of the common good that combines formal procedural criteria with substantive and objective framework conditions.
