Arts and the Common Good

From the New Digest’s Archives

“Justice,” audience room of the Grand Masters of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, Valletta, Malta

Since The New Digest began publishing less than five months ago, we have already accumulated a substantial archive of substantial posts on classical legal and political theory, written by leading scholars and jurists. From time to time, we will visit the archive to publicize these works. Today, we offer three posts on governance and the common good in arts and literature. If you haven’t seen any of these yet, enjoy!

1. Leonard Taylor, “The Frescoes of Ambrogio Lorenzetti: An Allegory on Good and Bad Government”

2. Jack Larkin, “An Isolated Man in a Disturbed Kingdom: An Essay on Hamlet, the Dane”

3. Conor Casey, “The Bard on the Demands of the Common Good: ‘On his choice depends, The safety and Health of this whole state’”
