Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2006 The existence and grounding
of human or natural rights is a heavily contested issue today, not
only in the West but in the debates raging between
"fundamentalists" and "liberals" or "modernists in the Islamic
world. So, too, are the revised versions of natural law espoused by
thinkers such as John Finnis and Robert George. This book focuses
on three bodies of theory that developed between the thirteenth and
seventeenth centuries: (1) the foundational belief in the existence
of a moral/juridical natural law, embodying universal norms of
right and wrong and accessible to natural human reason; (2) the
understanding of (scientific) uniformities of nature as divinely
imposed laws, which rose to prominence in the seventeenth century;
and (3), finally, the notion that individuals are bearers of
inalienable natural or human rights. While seen today as distinct
bodies of theory often locked in mutual conflict, they grew up
inextricably intertwines. The book argues that they cannot be
properly understood if taken each in isolation from the others.
