Media Reviews
Anyone in Britain or America who attempts to conduct a graduate course in contemporary political philosophy, fundamental ethics, or the philosophy of law, without having first thoroughly read this book, will be open, with considerable justification, to the charge of incompetence....Deserves a place
in current discussions comparable in prominence to the one enjoyed by John Rawls's A Theory of Justice. --The Review of Metaphysics
The most excellent comprehensive and sensitive work in legal theory to come out of the tradition of analytical jurisprudence. --The Annals of the AAPSS
Undoubtedly the most significant work on the natural law to appear in modern times. --Theological Studies
An extremely valuable book that may very well become a standard work in moral theology, moral philosophy, metaethics, jurisprudence, and philosophy. --The Thomist
