SUMMARY:Master Class on Yves Simon on Natural Law
DESCRIPTION:A FOLLOW UP MASTER CLASS ON PART 2 OF THE BOOK WILL BE HELD ON JANUARY 15.\nOpen to current graduate students. It will take place online on Zoom. Copies of the readings will be provided. Others interested in participating should contact us. \nJoin us for a master class on Yves Simon’s The Tradition of Natural Law: A Philosopher’s Reflections (Fordham University Press\, 1999). \nYou can watch Professor Hittinger’s lecture on Part 1 of the book here. \n\nABOUT THE BOOK \nThe tradition of natural law is one of the foundations of Western civilization. At its heart is the conviction that there is an objective and universal justice which transcends humanity’s particular expressions of justice. It asserts that there are certain ways of behaving which are appropriate to humanity simply by virtue of the fact that we are all human beings. Recent political debates indicate that it is not a tradition that has gone unchallenged: in fact\, the opposition is as old as the tradition itself. \nBy distinguishing between philosophy and ideology\, by recalling the historical adventures of natural law\, and by reviewing the theoretical problems involved in the doctrine\, Simon clarifies much of the confusion surrounding this perennial debate. He tackles the questions raised by the application of natural law with skill and honesty as he faces the difficulties of the subject. \nSimon warns against undue optimism in a revival of interest in natural law and insists that the study of natural law beings with the analysis of “the law of the land.” He writes not as a polemicist but as a philosopher\, and he writes of natural law with the same force\, conciseness\, lucidity and simplicity which have distinguished all his other works.
