Based on the dignity and intrinsic sociability of the human person, this article asserts the importance of fraternity and family relationships in social life and politics. Too many dreams about political integration have been shattered lately, while new walls of aggressive nationalism and isola­tionism are being built. In this situation, people everywhere feel the need for good politics and for “a healthy injection of family spirit.” (AL 183) However, there can be no universal fraternity without good politics “built upon respect for law and frank dialogue between individuals.” (FT 196)

Opierając się na godności i nieodłącznej relacyjnej naturze osoby ludzkiej, autor ten podkreśla znaczenie relacji braterskich i rodzinnych w życiu społecznym i polityce. Zbyt wiele marzeń o integracji politycznej zostało ostatnio zburzonych, budując w zamian nowe mury agre­sywnego nacjonalizmu i izolacjonizmu. W tej sytuacji ludzie na całym świecie odczuwają potrzebę dobrej polityki i „potężnego zastrzyku ducha rodzinnego” (AL 183). W rzeczywistości nie może być powszechnego braterstwa bez dobrej polityki, która „opiera się na prawie i na lojalnym dialogu między stronami” (FT 196).
