Retrieving the Natural Law

<DIV><BR /> Restating what all people intuit and what this means in moral specifically bioethical discourse is the<I>raison d'être</I> for this volume. J.áDaryl Charles argues that a traditional metaphysics of natural law lies at the heart of the present reconstructive project and that a revival in natural-law thinking is of the highest priority for the Christian community as we contend in rather than abdicate the public square.<BR /><BR /> Nowhere is this more on display than in the realm of bioethics where the most basic moral questions -- human personhood human rights versus responsibilities the reality of moral evil the basis of civil society -- are being debated. With his timely application of natural-law thinking to the field of bioethics Charles seeks to breathe new life back into this key debate.</DIV>
