In Defense of Natural Law
Robert George
Abstract
Making Men Moral questioned the central doctrines of liberal jurisprudence and political theory. This new work extends a critique of liberalism, and also goes beyond it to show how contemporary natural law theory provides a superior way of thinking about basic problems of justice and political morality. Not content merely to defend natural law from its ‘cultural despisers’; the book turns the tables and deploys the idea to mount a stunning attack on regnant liberal beliefs about such issues as abortion, sexuality, and the place of religion in public life.
Keywords: liberal jurisprudence, political theory, liberalism, natural law theory, justice, political morality, cultural despisers, abortion, sexuality, religion
