The semantics for an education for the common good

Abstract

In this paper in order to the analyze the expression “common good”, a three-part reflection is proposed. In the first instance, the semantic analysis of the iunctura is conducted, and then some textual passages from Cicero and Thomas Aquinas are examined to better understand the meaningful structure of the synthetium examined. In the third phase, it is proposed to cultivate the symbolic nature of man through an educational action based on some practices of linguistics and philosophy.
