This collection provides an intellectually rigorous and accessible
overview of key topics in contemporary natural law jurisprudence,
an influential yet frequently misunderstood branch of legal
philosophy. It fills a gap in the existing literature by bringing
together leading international experts on natural law theory to
provide perspectives on some of the most pressing issues pertaining
to the nature and moral foundations of law. Themes covered include
the history of the natural law tradition, the natural law account
of practical reason, normativity and ethics, natural law approaches
to legal obligation and authority and constitutional law. Creating
a dialogue between leading figures in natural law thought, the
Companion is an ideal introduction to the main commitments of
natural law jurisprudence, whilst also offering a concise summary
of developments in current scholarship for more advanced readers.
