In this first D’Arcy Lecture, brought to you by Campion Hall, Revd Dr Patrick Riordan explores the philosophical and theological sources of the concept, from Aristotle’s introduction of the notion in his Politics, and its adoption in Christian Theology, to being a pillar of Catholic Social Teaching today.
