On Law, Morality, and Politics

great product. Thanks.

I used this book for college and wrote a paper about it, The book was in very good condition overall.

Terrible!!! My book cake damaged as if it was wet at one point, but my box shows my damage. Also everything else in the package is fine and has not been wet. I DO NOT recommend !!!!

If you like to understand the historical reasons for many of today's laws, this book is a great resource. Theologically, this book also helped me to understand the concept of Devine law. Acquinas explains that Devine law is God's plan for humanity, which is for our benefit. Further, Acquinas shows that the goodness of human laws must be measured by their consistency with the Greatest Commandments--loving our neighbors as ourselves and loving God with all our hearts, souls, and minds. Some "laws," however, are so inconsistent with these commands that they are not laws at all; they are "violence."

The way he organizes his arguments is so perfect, and so well done. If you ever want to argue with someone or something, you MUST read this and model after this. On top of that, he attacks some very interesting subjects, and while his answer is usually no, sometimes he'll surprise you with a yes.

Son needed for college great price worked out great with quick delivery!

good reading for the politically minded

thx!
