Ethics, Politics, and Natural Law

"Melissa Moschella's Ethics, Politics, and Natural Law is the most readable and accessible articulation of 'New' Natural Law Theory I have read in the field. I recommend the volume to ethics enthusiasts everywhere, but especially to Protestant audiences that tend to produce a voluntarist and divine command account of ethics to the neglect of articulating how and why God’s moral decrees are also eminently reasonable." —Andrew T. Walker, author of Faithful Reason

"Is it the case, and, if so, how is it the case, that the human intellect can grasp reasons—including moral reasons—for choice and action? In Ethics, Politics, and Natural Law, Melissa Moschella provides persuasive answers to these questions as well as a cogent account of those reasons. Her book represents the clearest, most readable exposition and defense of contemporary natural law theory yet to appear." —Robert P. George, author of Conscience and Its Enemies

“The ability to achieve this combination of philosophical rigor and clear, accessible presentation is rare. . . . It will be appreciated across the spectrum of intellectual sophistication, schools of thought, and political ideology.” —Daniel Philpott, author of Religious Freedom in Islam
