Exploring the relationship between natural law theory and the philosophy of law, Bebhinn Donnelly proposes a new approach to natural law theory - one which addresses some of the tradition's shortcomings and advances further its approach to Hume's dichotomy. Key features: • Provides a clear definition of ‘nature' in this context • Contrasts the work of Hume and Kant regarding the ‘is/ought' issue • Examines the approach in traditional natural law • Presents a full discussion of Finnis and the departure from traditional natural law • Proposes a new, natural law approach to normativity, drawing on the strengths of traditional natural law theory • Illustrates how natural law may provide a normative base for law A Natural Law Approach to Normativity presents an original perspective on natural law theory and will be of interest to academics in philosophy of law, moral/political philosophy, natural law theorists, and students of jurisprudence internationally.
