Description
Natural Law Ethics in Theory and Practice brings together a selection of essays by Joseph Boyle, a key figure in the development of the New Classical Natural Law Theory. This influential Catholic moral philosophy has shaped the way we think about ethics and morality. The volume is divided into two parts, with Part One exploring the foundations of natural law theory and Part Two applying it to contemporary issues such as just war theory, property rights, and bioethics. Boyle's essays demonstrate the strength and scope of his account, tackling complex questions like assisted death and the moral evaluation of human action. A foreword by Robert P provides additional context for this important collection of essays, offering insights into Boyle's work and its significance in the field of philosophy.
