This paper presents and evaluates Brown’s analysis of the concept of hate speech. His analysis is seen as a valuable contribution to the discussion about the adequate definition of the term hate speech as an ordinary concept, which Brown understands as an equivocal idiom and family resemblance concept. However, as far as the concept of hate speech as a legal term is concerned and especially when the possible impact of Brown’s conception on the legal regulation of hate speech is taken into account it suggests that Brown’s approach appears problematic. Indeed, in the sphere of legal (especially criminal) regulation of hate speech the rule of law requires to respect the principle of legal certainty, i.e. to make every effort to define the term hate speech as a legal concept as univocally as possible. This is due to the fact that criminal regulation of hate speech poses potentially a serious threat to freedom of expression as a fundamental right of democratic citizenship.

This paper explores how a viable politics of the common good depends on the principle of subsidiarity. First, it offers a description and assessment of Alasdair MacIntyre's Catholic politics of the common good. On this background MacIntyre's position is seen as interesting yet problematic. Contrary to the principle of subsidiarity, MacIntyre takes an excessively critical, negative stance on state politics and on common goods achievable through the operation of state. Therefore, the paper argues for the inclusion of subsidiarity into his vision of politics, since any adequate politics of the common good requires its recognition and application.

The term of practice plays an important role in MacIntyre's philosophy. He uses it in two different ways: either generally as contrast with theory or as a specifically defined term within his Neo-Aristotelianism. These two meanings are independent from each other. The paper is a reconstruction of MacIntyre's argument concerning the notion of practice in its general sense and as related to the concept of theory. First, it analyses practice as opposite to theory, and its Marxist roots; second, it outlines the post-Marxist revolutionary 'Benedictine' vision of MacIntyre's Thomistic Aristotelianism; third, the issue in question is exemplified via the mutual relationship between political philosophy and politics; finally, several implications of the author's argument are suggested. The paper claims that those engaged in elaboration, critique and implementation of political and/or moral theories may benefit from MacIntyre's insightful account of the significance of practice for theory.
