TRS 737C Law in Moral Theology
Part of the history of western philosophy is the periodic declaration of the death of the natural law, but as one commentator noticed, the natural law always "has risen livelier than ever and buried its undertakers." What some see as a weakness-the multiple forms of the natural law-others acknowledge as the genius of the system. Explores how the natural law may be newly justified in our age, a task made urgent by the fact that Western, and increasingly, global, culture presupposes the existence in law of a system of "natural" or human rights.
