Originally published in German in 1936, "The Natural Law" is the
first work to clarify the differences between traditional natural
law as represented in the writings of Cicero, Aquinas, and Hooker
and the revolutionary doctrines of natural rights espoused by
Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau. Beginning with the legacies of Greek
and Roman life and thought, Rommen traces the natural law tradition
to its displacement by legal positivism and concludes with what the
author calls "the reappearance" of natural law thought in more
recent times. In seven chapters each Rommen explores "The History
of the Idea of Natural Law" and "The Philosophy and Content of the
Natural Law." In his introduction, Russell Hittinger places
Rommen's work in the context of contemporary debate on the
relevance of natural law to philosophical inquiry and
constitutional interpretation.Heinrich Rommen (1897-1967) taught in
Germany and England before concluding his distinguished scholarly
career at Georgetown University.Russell Hittinger is William K.
Warren Professor of Catholic Studies and Research Professor of Law
at the University of Tulsa.
