Paperback. Zustand: New. Second Edition.

Paper Back. Zustand: New. The concept of a 'natural' law that predates and justifies civil authority (expressed famously in Jefferson's invocation of 'the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God') is deeply rooted in Greek and Judaeo-Christian tradition. Since the Enlightenment, however, natural law has been increasingly detached from its original context and from a higher, divine law in order to justify the free rein of individualism and self-interest. Hittinger, a Roman Catholic legal scholar, offers a balanced, well-reasoned account of the decline of natural law and argues for its restoration and relevance in a post-Christian world. The first four essays are theoretical, tracing natural law as a theme from the patristic period onward, and exploring its contemporary legal character and relationship to political authority. In the second half of the book, he sets forth several case studies (assisted suicide, the Supreme Court and religion, technology and liberty) that illustrate what happens when the social and legal order functions independently of its metaphysical and theological underpinnings. Hittinger's elegant argument relies heavily on the thought of Thomas Aquinas and John Paul II, but it will nevertheless interest non-Catholics and even non-Christians who are deeply concerned about citizenship, civil society, church and state issues, and the growing crisis of constitutional authority. 334 pp.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. In this volume Russell Hittinger presents a comprehensive and critical treatment of the attempt to restate and defend a theory of natural law, particularly as proposed by Germain Grisez and John Finnis. A Critique of the New Natural Law Theory begins by examining the positions of various moral philosophers such as Alasdair MacIntyre, Alan Donogan, Elizabeth Anscombe, and Stanley Hauerwas, who wish to recover particular facets of premodern ethics. Hittinger then explores the work of Grisez and Finnis, who claim to have recovered natural law in a manner that avoids the standard objections brought against it since the Enlightenment; they thus claim to have recovered natural law theory available once again for moral theology. Hittinger examines this new theory for internal coherence and consistency. In addition, he examines whether it is sufficiently comprehensive to explicate the religious, anthropological, and metaphysical questions that bear upon natural law ethics. He argues that the new natural law theory fails because it does not take into account philosophical anthropology and metaphysics. It cannot show how and why "nature" is normative for human activity. Hittinger concludes that if natural law theory is to be recovered, we must discover how to constructively bring theoretical rationality to bear upon ethics and practical rationality. Until this is done, he asserts, we will not have a defensible theory of natural law.…
