After several decades in which it became a prime target for
critique, universalism remains one of the most important issues in
social and political thought. Daniel Chernilo reassesses the
universalistic orientation of social theory and explains its
origins in natural law theory, using an impressive array of
classical and contemporary sources that include, among others,
Jurgen Habermas, Karl Lowith, Leo Strauss, Weber, Marx, Hegel,
Rousseau and Hobbes. 'The Natural Law Foundations of Modern Social
Theory' challenges previous accounts of the rise of social theory,
recovers a strong idea of humanity and revisits conventional
arguments on sociology's relationship to modernity, the
Enlightenment and natural law. It reconnects social theory to its
scientific and philosophical roots, its descriptive and normative
tasks and its historical and systematic planes. Chernilo's defence
of universalism for contemporary social theory will surely engage
students of sociology, political theory and moral philosophy
alike."
