The Content of the Concept of Public Interest: an Individualistic Analysis

Summary/Abstract: The article entertains a conceptual analysis of the notion of public interest. It claims that the public interest not only cannot object to the individual interest of the members of society but it also has to accord to these interest. However, the Arrow impossibility theorem shows that public interest of this kind is impossible if one wants it to be fair and rational. In this kind of circumstances the remaining option to satisfy, at least to some extent, the aforementioned requirements is to adopt the principle of inviolability of the person, which unfolds as the inviolability of personal life, freedom and property. This notion of public interest would allow the coexistence of diversity of individual interests without imposing to anybody any compulsory interest.
