from The Great Books Foundation
Customer Review:
When the Social Contract was published in 1762, Rousseau became a wanted man in France and Switzerland, but in 1794 after the French revolution, his remains were buried in Paris as an international hero.

| 2. |  | Might is Right - The Survival of the Fittest
from 14 WORD PRESS
Customer Review:
Redbeard enthusiastically expounds upon the doctrine of Might is Right. For example, only those who have the might to defend their rights deserve them.

| 4. | ![]() | Ethics of Liberty
from Humanities Pr

from Oxford University Press, USA
Customer Review:
This interesting but difficult book lays out a comprehensive theory of moral and legal philosophy. Early chapters argue that certain forms of human flourishing (such as the good of knowledge) are self-evidently valuable; the final chapter paints a lovely picture of how "playing" in the "game of God"... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

This was a great book for someone like myself who is not a law student or lawyer. It lays out the basic sense of the church teachings on the most important issues of the day. And that's what the Natural Law is all about: what makes sense. Highly recommended. | 4.5 / 5.0
