If natural law arguments struggle to gain traction in contemporary
moral and political discourse, could it be because we moderns do
not share the understanding of nature on which that language was
developed? Building on the work of important thinkers of the last
half-century, including Leo Strauss, Eric Voegelin, John Finnis,
and Bernard Lonergan, the essays in Concepts of Nature compare and
contrast classical, medieval, and modern conceptions of nature in
order to better understand how and why the concept of nature no
longer seems to provide a limit or standard for human action. These
essays also evaluate whether a rearticulation of pre-modern ideas
(or perhaps a reconciliation or reconstitution on modern terms) is
desirable and/or possible. Edited by R. J. Snell and Steven F.
McGuire, this book will be of interest to intellectual historians,
political theorists, theologians, and philosophers.
