This title in other formats:Natural Law and Moral Philosophy: From Grotius to the Scottish Enlightenmentby Knud Haakonssen
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This major contribution to the history of philosophy provides the most comprehensive guide to modern natural law theory available; sets out the full background to liberal ideas of rights and contractarianism; and offers an extensive study of the Scottish Enlightenment. Review:"...an interesting and important set of historical studies, written clearly and straightforwardly, resting on massive scholarship, and arguing for some challenging theses about matters that are still of lively theoretical interest." J.B. Schneewind, The Johns Hopkins University"Natural Law and Moral Philosophy is an important canvass of a cultue at work.
