For over forty years John Finnis has pioneered the development of a
new classical theory of natural law, a systematic philosophical
explanation of human life that offers an integrated account of
personal identity, practical reason, morality, political community,
and law. The core of Finnis' theory, articulated in his seminal
work Natural Law and Natural Rights, has profoundly influenced
later work in the philosophy of law and practical reason, while his
contributions to the ethical debates surrounding nuclear
deterrence, abortion, and sexual morality have been a powerful, and
controversial exposition of the practical implications of his
theory of natural law. The Collected Essays of John Finnis brings
together 122 papers. Thematically arranged, the five volumes
provide ready access to his contributions across central areas of
modern practical philosophy - the philosophy of practical reason;
the philosophy of personal identity and intention; political
philosophy; the philosophy of law; and the philosophy of revelation
and the role of religion in public life. Fully cross-referenced,
cross-indexed, and introduced by the author, the Collected Essays
reveal the connections and coherence of the different branches of
Finnis' work, showing the full picture of his philosophical
contribution for the first time. Covering topics from the nature of
divine revelation, the morality of abortion, to the adoption of
Bills of Rights, the work in these volumes offer a unique insight
into the intellectual currents and political debates that have
transformed major areas of public morality and law over the last
half century. Together with the new edition of Natural Law and
Natural Rights, they will be an essential resource for all those
engaged with the philosophy of law and broader questions in
practical philosophy.
