Title: Natural law and contemporary public policy
Description: Prominent thinkers in the natural law tradition apply the principles of natural law to contemporary political and social problems in this volume, the first to explore the practical uses of this philosophy.

Contributors demonstrate how natural law can be used to resolve a wide range of complex social, political, and constitutional issues by addressing controversial subjects that include the family, taxation, war, racial discrimination, medical technology, and sexuality. Revealing the wide impact of the natural law revival, this volume brings together authors from across the political spectrum. It also includes a critique of the natural law position by a respected commentator.

Natural Law and Contemporary Public Policy will be of value to those working in philosophy, political science, and legal theory, as well as to policy analysts, legislators, judges, and everyone seeking principles to guide them through difficult policy issues.
