is a very good introduction into the Natural Law and really answered some of the questions that I had. \u00a0The author describes that the book is for “The persuaded, the half-persuaded,\u00a0and the wish-I-were-persuaded.”<\/p>\nHe shows the history of the Natural Law series which was first proposed prominently in Stoicism and has been advanced by all major religious traditions to some extent. \u00a0This book clears up so many preconceptions on the Natural Law about what it is and what it isn’t. \u00a0There is certainly much confusion on these points that I have found among Catholics. There has always been a tension between “What we can’t not know” and how we act and that tension is what people often use to deny the Natural Law. \u00a0Acting contrary to the Natural Law is an aspect of concupiscence and there are many ways that what the Natural Law theorists call the “four witnesses” to the Natural Law can in part be suppressed. \u00a0Rationalizations and cultural trends can make it harder for us to hear our deep conscience and the other witnesses – but those witnesses are still there regardless.<\/p>\n
The writing itself is very good and fits the target audience exactly. \u00a0I learned much from it and I especially enjoyed the section where is presents arguments against the Natural Law as a conversation between two people. \u00a0Common objections are presented and answered in a natural conversationalist way. \u00a0This was really exactly what I was looking for in explaining the Natural Law.<\/p>\n
