The essays of this volume examine natural moral law, different natural law theories, and the role that natural law can and should play in our contemporary society. While some essays explore systematically the metaphysical and moral foundations of natural law, others focus on questions related to the application of natural law in the political, medical, or legal realm, or discuss historical questions that are closely related to the crisis and defense of natural law. All contributors agree that natural law is a concept that cannot and must not be dismissed and that is in need of a careful retrieval. While there are clearly differences in emphasis among the contributors, most of them also agree that the defense of natural law, the critique of the modern dismissal of natural law and of a modern non-teleological understanding of nature, and the proper use of philosophical reasoning are all closely related."--BOOK JACKET.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aChristian ethicsxCatholic authors. 0aNatural lawxReligious aspectsxCatholic Church. 7aPHILOSOPHY / Ethics & Moral Philosophy2bisacsh 4aElectronic books.1 aZaborowski, Holger,d1974-08iPrint version:tNatural moral law in contemporary society.dWashington, D.C. : Catholic University of America Press, c2010z9780813217864w(DLC)  2010007517w(OCoLC)531718876 0aStudies in philosophy and the history of philosophy ;vv. 53.403EBSCOhostuhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=500885  aEBSCOhostbEBSCn500885  acpp1723AUTO  a02bN$T  c51938d51938
