Article is an attempt for the creation a new way of thinking about the common good, which is possible to realize in practice (particularly in view of depleting natural resources). Firstly, author defines terms such as: the good, the community , the common good, indicating a tendency to bipolar thinking about these ideas: relativist and absolutist. The second part consist analysis of these ideas from the one perspective – hermeneutics. In this part „banality” is not a „name” for common good. It is a „name” for the way of thinking (bipolar). In the third thematic sequence, author explain the new way of thinking. From now we have formal and material good defined in political sphere rather than ethics.
