A collection of lectures delivered as part of the Goodrich Lecture Series at Wabash College. Each chapter is predicated on the desirability of replacing the dominant school of positive law and its majoritarian legitimating principle with a commitment to natural law doctrines. Part I discusses the history of natural law philosophy, and Part II deals with thematic topics related to natural law. Part III focuses on the applications and importance of natural law to certain areas of legal practice. McLean is affiliated with the department of political science at Wabash College. Annotation c.

"This volume is a significant contribution to our understanding of the natural law and its application to a wide range of human and social concerns, and it deserves serious study and reflection."
Common Truths brings together the best minds writing on one of today's most important and heated issues: natural law. This diverse group of thinkers addresses the theoretical, historical, and--in a section of particular importance--the legislative and juridical aspects of natural law. A revival of natural law concepts, the essayists argue, is crucial to the refurbishing of American civil society. Anyone wanting to understand what the natural law is and why it matters will find this engaging book indispensable.
