Drawing upon insights from recent work in ethical, legal, and social theory, it presents a robust and original account of the natural law tradition, challenging common perceptions of natural law as a set of timeless standards imposed on humans from above.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJonathan Crowe argues that natural law is objective and normative, yet it is also historically extended, socially embodied, and dependent on contingent facts about human nature. It reflects the ongoing human quest to work out how best to live flourishing lives, given the natures we have and the social environments we inhabit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe nature and purpose of law can only be adequately understood within this wider context of value. This book is timely, wide-ranging, and clearly written, making it appealing to those working in law, philosophy, and religious studies. It is a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the foundations of ethical and legal systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 408g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 228 x 18 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781108735681\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JonathanCrowe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095050285306,"sku":"9781108735681","price":30.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/ad44a3163db7fb37472fb53811e19e29.jpg?v=1620916201","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/natural-law-and-the-nature-of-law","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
