Natural law theory has been undergoing a revival, especially in
political philosophy and jurisprudence. Yet, most fundamentally,
natural law theory is not a political theory, but a moral theory,
or more accurately a theory of practical rationality. According to
the natural law account of practical rationality, the basic reasons
for actions are basic goods that are grounded in the nature of
human beings. Practical rationality aims to identify and
characterize reasons for action and to explain how choice between
actions worth performing can be appropriately governed by rational
standards. These standards are justified by reference to features
of the human goods that are the fundamental reasons for action.
This book is a defence of a contemporary natural law theory of
practical rationality, demonstrating its inherent plausibility and
engaging systematically with rival egoist, consequentialist,
Kantian and virtue accounts.
