This book confronts moral skepticism by using contemporary analytical tools to provide basic accounts of values and principles, community and "common good," justice and human rights, authority, law, the varieties of obligation, unjust law, and the question of divine authority. Finnis deals with both classical accounts and modern critiques, developments in law, and arguments among contemporary political and legal theorists.

John Finnis is at University College, Oxford.
"Anyone in Britain or America who attempts to conduct a graduate course in contemporary political philosophy, fundamental ethics, or the philosophy of law, without having first thoroughly read this book, will be open, with considerable justification, to the charge of incompetence....Deserves a place in current discussions comparable in prominence to the one enjoyed by John Rawls's A Theory of Justice."--The Review of Metaphysics
