Since the dawn of civilisation philosophers and sages alike have
been concerned about the potential for government to become a
Leviathan-like monster. In this book Professor Drew shows how a
careful application of natural law principles can mitigate this
threat of Leviathan and also contribute to the flourishing of
people. To do so Natural Law and Government examines the trade-off
between human dignity and the common good during the public policy
response to COVID-19. Specifically, Professor Drew details his
concerns regarding the emergence of concentrations of power and
competence in government – changes that have sadly given rise to
the repression of the vitality of citizens. This ground-breaking
work explains the changes to thinking, institutions and public
management that are necessary for people to reclaim their right to
thrive as humans. In sum, this is a handbook for what needs to be
done after the COVID-19 revolution.
