The natural law tradition is rooted in the understanding that society has a place within the universe as a whole. Just as the universe has a natural order that is balanced and just, so does human society. The ancient study of law-making was grounded in this correlation between the universal order and the order of society. When a society conforms to its own real nature, it will flourish and be just and attain its proper end. This view of a natural social order was central to ancient political and economic theory, ranging from Hesiod, Greek philosophy, Roman jurisprudence and medieval theology. In philosophical reflection on jurisprudence natural law has always held a special place and informed the Western understanding of justice and the good society. Society had been seen analogously to a single body with its different functions which should work harmoniously together. Law-making sought to ground itself in this natural harmony. The present study seeks to trace the history of natural law within this wider social framework. In particular it seeks to show that insights from the natural law tradition have practical application in our own times, especially in the search for social and economic justice.

Mankind is centuries overdue for a sharp mental and moral shakeup! Men and women know nothing but servility, slavery, and unceasing tyranny. What else can there be but bloodshed when society authorises a state to make laws enforceable by gunpowder, or when government rules moralitydespite that rule is immoral by nature. Natural law answers those questions, but who knows what natural law is? Kenneth E Bartles Law From Within reveals the Principles of Natural law. Astounding revelations offer a new appraisal of Mans nature. Consciousness, subconscious mind, free will, conscience, emotions, ethics, morality, and justice, are explored in a loving manner for thinking minds. Bartles forty years of research and study challenge several olden-day ideologies, human and social sciences tried and found wanting. Diagrams help explain twenty natural laws showing the Creators bountiful invitation to truly live. These rules of process exist for our benefit and joy; free will upheld unreservedly. Grasp these vital natural law principles, as Law from Within, and you will see how virtuous natural laws belonging to all of usmay forge a free, moral, and just society for you and your children; one never dreamed. Your life and their lives are in your hands.

"Human beings are a part of nature and apart from it." The argument of Natural Law and Justice is that the philosophy of natural law and contemporary theories about the nature of justice are both efforts to make sense of the fundamental paradox of human experience: individual freedom and responsibility in a causally determined universe. Professor Weinreb restores the original understanding of natural law as a philosophy about the place of humankind in nature. He traces the natural law tradition from its origins in Greek speculation through its classic Christian statement by Thomas Aquinas. He goes on to show how the social contract theorists adapted the idea of natural law to provide for political obligation in civil society and how the idea was transformed in Kant's account of human freedom. He brings the historical narrative down to the present with a discussion of the contemporary debate between natural law and legal positivism, including particularly the natural law theories of Finnis, Richards, and Dworkin. Professor Weinreb then adopts the approach of modern political philosophy to develop the idea of justice as a union of the distinct ideas of desert and entitlement. He shows liberty and equality to be the political analogues of desert and entitlement and both pairs to be the normative equivalents of freedom and cause. In this part of the book, Weinreb considers the theories of justice of Rawls and Nozick as well as the communitarian theory of Maclntyre and Sandel. The conclusion brings the debates about natural law and justice together, as parallel efforts to understand the human condition. This original contribution to legal philosophy will be especially appreciated by scholars, teachers, and students in the fields of political philosophy, legal philosophy, and the law generally.

The America of the past is fading fast. A culture war that was simmering mostly beneath the surface for generations has erupted in the past several decades into a raging conflict that pits starkly contrasting (and often irreconcilable) worldviews, ideologies, and value systems against one another. The effects of the culture war are apparent as our society and institutions are becoming increasingly polarized and dysfunctional - which is why our political leaders seem so incapable of handling even the most obvious problems. There is political gridlock in Washington, D.C. because there is moral and cultural gridlock in American society in general. This being the case, is there any common ground between social conservatives and liberals when it comes to accepting a baseline for morality, ethics, and civility? In fact there is, and it derives from a universal truth that was generally acknowledged and accepted until recent times - the concept of Natural Law. All societies would be better if they were regulated by Biblical principles. But mainstream society is not Christian, and as Christians we cannot and should not attempt to impose specifically Christian values on nonbelievers. To do so, we would need to utilize the coercive power of the state to force compliance, which would be not only futile but generally counterproductive. It would also violate the spirit of the Gospel. The best that can be expected of any free society is a general recognition of the basic precepts of Natural Law. Anything else - whether it relates to Christian sexual morality, biblical principles of social justice, or any other explicitly Christian values and behavior - should be proclaimed and practiced by the community of Christ but cannot and should not be forced on others. A culture based on Natural Law would insist upon an elementary level of common decency and civility conducive to the flourishing of both individual civil liberties and the general welfare of society as a whole. It would be a social and political environment dedicated to cultivating harmony, fairness, equal opportunity, true social justice, and the rule of law for everyone. While it wouldn't be utopia - no human society will ever approach perfection - it would be considerably more wholesome and healthy than our present society and culture. In addition to highlighting the historical development of Natural Law theory from Aristotle to Martin Luther King Jr. and Clarence Thomas, this study also includes an essay on Natural Law and Just War Theory.

Addresses the questions philosophers have asked for centuries about the ground for man's actions. Why be moral? What is law? What are the limits of coercion within a just and free society? These and similar questions are ancient yet timely; and today, as always, they demand answers. Explicates the historical, theoretical, legislative and juridical aspects of natural law doctrine. The essayists reveal the comprehensiveness and, consequently, the usefulness of natural law theory in deriving human solutions to the problems confronting contemporary society.

Modern society is riven by social divisions: between conservatives and progressives; liberals and socialists; the mainstream and the rise of far-right political groups etc. Instead of truth, there are ‘post-truth’ and ‘alternative facts’. In the wake of problems caused by untruthful politicians and world leaders, by Brexit and Covid, the need to repair or rebuild our communities has become paramount, but what kind of community should we build, and on what foundations? This book suggests that natural law is such a foundation. Natural Law and Modern Society presents a new theory of natural law, grounded in the thought of Saint Thomas Aquinas, aimed at answering questions relevant to the world of today: from the nature of morality and ethics to the theory of law, obligation and political authority; from the domestic realm to international community. It seeks to elicit from the natural law tradition timeless truths concerning the human condition, in particular the social and political dimensions to human existence. This mode of existence, it argues, is not a problem to be resolved through some permutation of political institutions, but a predicament to be managed. At the heart of the book is the identification of a 'core morality': a set of moral requirements that are foundational to every society at all places and times, as distinct from those standards that are particular to this or that society at some time.
