About the book
This book firmly integrates the philosophy of law with ethics, social theory and political philosophy. The author develops a sustained and substantive argument; it is not a review of other people's arguments but makes frequent illustrative and critical reference to classical, medieval, modern, and contemporary writers in ethics, social and political theory, and jurisprudence.
Subjects: Natural law, Philosophy, Law, Law and ethics, Naturrecht, Rechtsphilosophie
