Description
Natural Law and Natural Rights by John Finnis is a seminal contribution to the philosophy of law, offering a thorough grounding in central issues of legal, moral, and political philosophy from a distinctive perspective. This new edition includes a substantial postscript by the author, responding to thirty years of discussion and criticism.
The book closely integrates the philosophy of law with ethics, social theory, and political philosophy, developing a sustained and substantive argument that makes frequent reference to classical, modern, and contemporary writers in these fields.
Standard contemporary objections to natural law theory are reviewed and shown to rest on serious misunderstandings, providing a critical basis for evaluating evaluations by the theorist. This edition is ideal for students and readers seeking a thorough understanding of the central issues in legal, moral, and political philosophy.
