Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the Laws of Nature, the laws of reasoning and their application to societal life and interaction. The author posits that the Natural Law is immutable and universal, obliging all humans to standards of right conduct due to their shared nature as rational beings. These laws shape the way we live as moral beings who decide and distinguish between good and evil. The author explores the duties and rights that arise from our natural equality, and how these duties and rights may be sometimes justly transferred to a sovereign or magistrate. The laws of nature that we are born with help establish societal norms that govern our interactions and exchanges with others. The author emphasizes the importance of honesty and integrity in such interactions, as well as the idea that fairness requires we treat others as we would like to be treated. This book explores these ideas and applies these principles to a range of relationships, including marriage and family structures. The authorâs insights in this foundational work remain relevant today, reminding us that reasoned law is not and should not be arbitrary, but instead should reflect universal principles of fairness.
