Natural Law and Practical Rationality

Focusing on practical rationality, this book defends a contemporary natural law theory that emphasizes basic goods inherent in human nature as the foundation for moral reasoning. It aims to clarify how rational standards govern the choice of actions worth pursuing, contrasting its principles with rival theories such as egoism, consequentialism, Kantian ethics, and virtue ethics. Through systematic engagement, the author highlights the plausibility of natural law as a moral framework that underpins human decision-making and ethical behavior.
