 Rating:  - Great book for someone just learning, too.This was a great book for someone like myself who is not a law student or lawyer. It lays out the basic sense of the church teachings on the most important issues of the day. And that's what the Natural Law is all about: what makes sense. Highly recommended. Rating: - Must read for law studentsThis book systematically adresses the natural law and develops a framework for applying it based on the centrality of Christ and the Church Magesterium. A must read for law students interested in learning about what the law ought to be, and why our legal system based on positivism is inadequate. Great book!

Charles Rice does a very thorough, scholarly job with this book. Highly recommended. Rating: - Stellar!Charles E. Rice demonstrates his capability as a legal scholar in this great treatment of natural law. Not only is this book filled with great information on traditional natural law thinkers such as Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas, it is full of contemporary legal examples that concretize the discussion and bring natural law out of the abstract realm into our everyday lives. |
