John Finnis is a pioneer in the development of a new yet
classically-grounded theory of natural law. His work offers a
systematic philosophy of practical reasoning and moral choosing
that addresses the great questions of the rational foundations of
ethical judgments, the identification of moral norms, human agency,
and the freedom of the will, personal identity, the common good,
the role and functions of law, the meaning of justice, and the
relationship of morality and politics to religion and the life of
faith. 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 moral and political philosophy,
while his contributions to the ethical debates surrounding nuclear
deterrence, abortion, euthanasia, sexual morality, and religious
freedom have powerfully demonstrated the practical implications of
his natural law theory. This volume, which gathers eminent moral,
legal, and political philosophers, and theologians to engage with
John Finnis' work, offers the first sustained, critical study of
Finnis' contribution across the range of disciplines in which
rational and morally upright choosing is a central concern. It
includes a substantial response from Finnis himself, in which he
comments on each of their 27 essays and defends and develops his
ideas and arguments.
