Summary

"The nine essays in this volume address some of the most intriguing questions raised by natural law theory and its implications for law, morality, and public policy. Some of the essays explore the implications that natural law theory has for jurisprudence, asking what natural law suggests about the use of legal devices such as constitutions and precedents. Other essays examine the connections between natural law and natural rights. Others discuss the interaction between natural law and various political concepts, such as citizen's rights and the obligation of citizens to obey their governments. Still others analyze the natural law teachings of the tradition's great expositors."--BOOK JACKET.
