文档介绍：Commentary on Thomas Aquinas’s Treatise on Law Natural moral law stands at the center of Western ethics and jurispru - dence and plays a leading role in interreligious dialogue. Although the greatest source of the classical natural law tradition is Thomas Aquinas’s Treatise on Law , the Treatise is notoriously difficult, especially for non - specialists. J. Budziszewski has made this formidable work luminous. This book – the first classically styled, line-by-mentary on the Treatise in centuries – reaches out to philosophers, theologians, social scientists, students, and general readers alike. Budziszewski shows how the Treatise facilitates a dialogue between author and reader. Explaining and expanding upon the text in light of modern philosophical develop - ments, he expounds this work of the great thinker not by diminishing his reasoning, but by amplifying it. J. Budziszewski is a Professor of Government and Philosophy at the University of Texas, Austin. He also teaches courses in the religious studies department and in the law school, and he maintains a personal scholarly website, . Dr. Budziszewski has published widely in both scholarly journals and magazines of broader readership. His books include The Resurrection of Nature: Political Theory and the Human Character (1986); The Nearest Coast of Darkness: A Vindication of the Politics of Virtues (1988); True Tolerance: Liberalism and the Necessity of Judgment (1992); Written on the Heart: The Case for Natural Law (1997), winner of a Christianity Today book award in 1998; The Revenge of Conscience: Politics and the Fall of Man (1999); What We Can’t Not Know: A Guide (2003); Evangelicals in the Public Square: Four Formative Voices (2006); Natural Law for Lawyers (2006); The Line Through the Heart: Natural Law as Fact, Theory, and Sign of Contradiction (2009); and On the Meaning of Sex (2012).
