Summary, etc. This book firmly integrates the philosophy of law with ethics, social theory and political philosophy. The author develops a sustained and substan tive argument; it is not a review of other people's arguments but makes frequent illustrative and critical reference to classical, medieval, modern, and con temporary writers in ethics, social and political theory, and jurisprudence.<br/><br/>The preliminary First Part reviews a century of analytical jurisprudence to illustrate the dependence of every descriptive social science upon evaluations by the theorist. A fully critical basis for such evaluations is a theory of natural law. Standard contemporary objections to natural law theory are reviewed and shown to rest on serious misunderstandings..<br/><br/>The Second Part develops in ten carefully structured chapters an account of: basic human goods and basic requirements of practical reasonableness, community and 'the common good'; justice; the logical structure of rights talk; the bases of human rights, their specification and their limits; authority, and the formation of authoritative rules by non-authoritative persons and procedures; law, the Rule of Law, and the derivation of laws from the principles of practical reasonableness; the complex relation between legal and moral obligation; and the practical and theoretical problems created by unjust laws.<br/><br/>A final Part develops a vigorous argument about the relation between 'natural law', 'natural theology' and 'revelation' between moral concern and other 'ultimate questions'.<br/><br/>This book is an authoritative restatement of natural law doctrine which will also give the student a thorough grounding in the central issues of legal, moral, and political philosophy.
