Natural Law and the Nature of Law by Jonathan Crowe
Requirements: .PDF reader, 4 mb
Overview: This book provides the first systematic, book-length defence of natural law ideas in ethics, politics and jurisprudence since John Finnis’s influential Natural Law and Natural Rights. Incorporating insights from recent work in ethical, legal and social theory, it presents a robust and original account oi the natural law tradition, challenging common perceptions oi natural law as a set oi timeless standards imposed on humans from above. Natural law, Jonathan Crowe argues, is objective and normative, but nonetheless historically extended, socially embodied and dependent on contingent facts about human nature. It reflects the ongoing human quest to work out how best to live flourishing lives, given the natures we have and the social environments we inhabit. The nature and purpose oi law can be adequately understood only within this wider context oi value. Timely, wide-ranging and clearly written, this volume will appeal to those working in law, philosophy and religious studies.
