The Light That Binds

Philosophy

“Stephen Brock has written a masterful study of what it means for the natural law to be both natural and a law. Scholars have struggled to understand Aquinas’s theory of the natural law, raising questions about the natural law’s binding force, its relationship to God and to our natural inclinations. Brock engages the best of the secondary literature concerning these questions, offering his own insightful and creative interpretation of them.”
