Natural moral law stands at the center of Western ethics and
jurisprudence and plays a leading role in interreligious dialogue.
Although the greatest source of the classical natural law tradition is
Thomas Aquinas's Treatise on Law, the Treatise is notoriously
difficult, especially for nonspecialists. J. Budziszewski has made
this formidable work luminous. This book - the first classically
styled, line-by-line commentary on the Treatise in centuries - reaches
out to philosophers, theologians, social scientists, students, and
general readers alike. Budziszewski shows how the Treatise facilitates
a dialogue between author and reader. Explaining and expanding upon
the text in light of modern philosophical developments, he expounds
this work of the great thinker not by diminishing his reasoning, but
by amplifying it.
