The Normativity of the Natural: Human Goods, Human Virtues, and Human Flourishing: Philosophical Studies in Contemporary Culture, cartea 16
Editat de Mark J. Cherryen Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 iun 2009
The natural law addresses permissible moral choice through objective understandings of human nature and human goods. Persons are obligated to act in ways that are compatible with creating and integrating the basic human goods into their lives and the lives of others. Such goods provide the basis for practical reasoning about virtuous choices and immediate reasons for action. The goal is the making of rational choices in the pursuit of a virtuous, flourishing, human life. Natural law theorists have argued extensively against human cloning, abortion, and same-gender marriage.
Yet, whose assumptions regarding human nature should guide our understanding of the basic goods that mark the full flourishing human life? Moreover, why should nature, even human nature, be thought of as a moral boundary beyond which one must not trespass? Persons may wish actively to direct human evolution, utilizing the tools of both imagination and biotechnology. Perhaps nature is simply a challenge to be addressed, overcome, and set aside.
This volume is a critical exploration of natural law theory.

Caracteristici
The Normativity of the Natural critically assesses natural law theory. It explores questions such as: Is there a universal human nature? Whose, or which, assumptions regarding human nature should guide our understanding of the basic goods that mark a flourishing human life? Why should nature, even human nature, be thought of as a moral boundary beyond which one must not trespass? What is the character of an adequate epistemology for coming to appreciate the deep nature of reality and what are its normative implications?
