Book Description:

This book confronts moral skepticism by using contemporary analytical tools to provide basic accounts of values and principles, community and "common good," justice and human rights, authority, law, the varieties of obligation, unjust law, and the question of divine authority. Finnis deals with both classical accounts and modern critiques, developments in law, and arguments among contemporary political and legal theorists.
