Download or read book Natural Law and Thomistic Juridical Realism written by Petar Popovic and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2022-02-04 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a rather novel legal-philosophical approach to understanding the intersection between law and morality. It does so by analyzing the conditions for the existence of a juridical domain of natural law from the perspective of the tradition of Thomistic juridical realism. In order to highlight the need to reconnect with this tradition in the context of contemporary legal philosophy, the book presents various other recent jurisprudential positions regarding the overlap between law and morality. While most authors either exclude a conceptual necessity for the inclusion of moral principles in the nature of law or refer to the purely moral status of natural law at the foundations of the legal phenomenon, the book seeks to elucidate the essential properties of the juridical status of natural law. In order to establish the juridicity of natural law, the book explores the relevant arguments of Thomas Aquinas and some of his main commentators on this issue, above all Michel Villey and Javier Hervada. It establishes that Thomistic juridical realism observes the juridical phenomenon not only from the perspective of legal norms or subjective individual rights, but also from the perspective of the primary meaning of the concept of right (ius), namely, the just thing itself as the object of justice. In this perspective, natural rights already possess a fully juridical status and can be described as natural juridical goods. In addition, from the viewpoint of Thomistic juridical realism, we can identify certain natural norms or principles of justice as the juridical title of these rights or goods. The book includes an assessment of the prospective points of dialogue with the other trends in Thomistic legal philosophy as well as with various accounts of the nature of law in contemporary legal theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from La Philosophie de l'Histoire: En Allemagne On croit généralement en Allemagne que la littérature historique, et mème la littérature tout entière de ce pays, apparut subitement dans la seconde moitié du dernier siècle, et cette opinion n'est pas entièrement fausse. En effet, la lit térature merveilleuse que nous appelons littérature alle mande, bien qu'elle soit peut-ètre aujourd'hui la plus riche de l'eur0pe ne date, en un sens que du milieu du XV... siècle. Cependant elle a des racines souterraines qui s'enfoncent profondément dans le passé; dans'aucune bran che, sa liaison avec les temps les plus anciens n'est entière ment interrompue elle est la fille brillante d'obscurs, mais respectables ancètres. Il y a, en ce qui concerne la compo sition historique, de nombreuses preuves de ce fait, sans remonter plus avant que la Renaissance et la Réforme.

Download or read book History of Philosophy written by Frederick Charles Copleston and published by Image. This book was released on 1993 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conceived originally as a serious presentation of the development of philosophy for Catholic seminary students, Frederick Copleston's nine-volume A History Of Philosophy has journeyed far beyond the modest purpose of its author to universal acclaimas the best history of philosophy in English. Copleston, an Oxford Jesuit of immense erudition who once tangled with A.J. Ayer in a fabled debate about the existence of God and the possibility of metaphysics, knew that seminary students were fed a woefully inadequate diet of theses and proofs, and that their familiarity with most of history's great thinkers was reduced to simplistic caricatures. Copleston set out to redress the wrong by writing a complete history of Western philosophy, one crackling with incident and intellectual excitement - and one that gives full place to each thinker, presenting his thought in a beautifully rounded manner and showing his links to those who came after him.
