What Is Natural Law Like?
Files
Description
This chapter analyses the theory of natural law. While acknowledging that John Finnis' work in Natural Law and Natural Rights is a valuable contribution to jurisprudence and practical philosophy, the chapter attempts to show that there is a further question worth asking—what is natural law like?—to which answer Finnis's book does not actually make much of a contribution.
