Kurzinhalt: Ziel der Gemeinschaft: die Ermöglichung der Authentizität des Menschen; Wahl des Menschen: Wahl eines Gutes wird zur Wahl für eine kulturelle Ordnung

Textausschnitt: () The goal of the human community, however, is not primarily to set up social orders. Rather, it is to construct cultural orders that will permit and encourage the community's members to discover their own authentic identities as disinterested knowers who desire to know being.
