T&t Clark Studies in Ressourcement Catho Natural Law & the Secular Mythos: What Has Been Left Unsaid in Current Debates in Natural Law, (Paperback)

<p><b>This book argues that natural law - when construed as an epistemological and trans-cultural <i>lingua franca</i>, adjudged capable of legitimating the rational intelligibility and universal applicability of specific Christian moral principles within contemporary "secular" discourse - has failed.</b> </p><p>Through a detailed analysis of the contributions of three prominent natural law theorists who are located within a shared philosophical-theological tradition, namely, John Finnis, Jean Porter, and John Milbank, the text illuminates the extent to which this failure is as much intramural as it is extramural. </p><p>Morgan explores how new horizons open up for natural law if the theological "unsaid(s)" are allowed to surface and the disremembering power of the secular <i>mythos </i>is overcome. The final chapter(s) of the book addresses one such horizon- that the theoretical fulcrum of the natural law lies not in its perceptual self-evidence or in its immanent secularity; but rather in its subtle provision of an immanent eschatology.</p>
