Nature as Reason : A Thomistic Theory of the Natural Law

Porter (moral theology, U. of Notre Dame) develops a constructive theory of natural law, taking as her starting point the scholastic concept and relying especially on the thought of theologian and philosopher Thomas Aquinas (1225-74). She covers the roots of natural law, virtue and the happy life, act and precept in the natural law, and theological ethics and natural law. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
