Common Truths: New Perspectives on Natural Law (Goodrich Lecture Series)

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.
