Natural Law and Philosophy – John Finnis – Villanova, PA
Villanova Law School presents a symposium on the works of John Finnis Sept. 30, 2011.
The sixth annual John F. Scarpa Conference on Law, Politics, and Culture will celebrate and explore the achievements of John M. Finnis.For over 40 years, Finnis has pioneered the development of a new classical theory of natural law and a systematic philosophical explanation of human life that offers an integrated account of personal identity, practical reason, morality, political community, and law. The core of Finnis’s theory, articulated in his pathbreaking work Natural Law and Natural Rights (1981), has profoundly influenced later work in the philosophy of law and practical reason, while his contributions to the ethical debates surrounding nuclear deterrence, abortion, and sexuality have been a powerful and controversial exposition of the practical implications of his theory of natural law and natural rights. In 2011 Oxford University Press published a new edition of Natural Law and Natural Rights and The Collected Essays of John Finnis in five volumes.
