This book provides the first systematic, book-length defence of
natural law ideas in ethics, politics and jurisprudence since John
Finnis's influential Natural Law and Natural Rights. Incorporating
insights from recent work in ethical, legal and social theory, it
presents a robust and original account of the natural law
tradition, challenging common perceptions of natural law as a set
of timeless standards imposed on humans from above. Natural law,
Jonathan Crowe argues, is objective and normative, but nonetheless
historically extended, socially embodied and dependent on
contingent facts about human nature. It reflects the ongoing human
quest to work out how best to live flourishing lives, given the
natures we have and the social environments we inhabit. The nature
and purpose of law can only be adequately understood within this
wider context of value. Timely, wide-ranging and clearly written,
this volume will appeal to those working in law, philosophy and
religious studies.
