This volume collects some of the best recent writings on St.
Thomas's philosophy of law and includes a critical examination of
Aquinas's theory of the relation between law and morality, his
natural law theory, as well as the modern reformulation of his
approach to natural rights. The volume shows how Aquinas understood
the importance of positive law and demonstrates the modern
relevance of his writings by including Thomistic critiques of
modern jurisprudence and examples of applications of Thomistic
jurisprudence to specific modern legal problems such as federalism,
environmental policy, abortion and euthanasia. The volume also
features an introduction which places Aquinas's writings in the
context of modern jurisprudence as well as an extensive
bibliography. The volume is suited to the needs of jurisprudence
scholars, teachers and students and is an essential resource for
all law libraries.
