| 520 ^aPierre Manent is one of France's leading political philosophers. This first English translation of his profound and strikingly original book La loi naturelle etles droits de l^'homme is a reflection on the centralquestion of the Western political tradition. In sixchapters, developed from the prestigious Étienne Gilsonlectures at the Institut Catholique de Paris, and in arelated appendix, Manent contemplates the steadydisplacement of the natural law by the modern conceptionof human rights. He aims to restore the grammar of moraland political action, and thus the possibility of anauthentically political order that is fully compatiblewith liberty rightly understood. Manent boldly confrontsthe prejudices and dogmas of those who have repudiated theclassical and (especially) Christian notion of ^"libertyunder law^" and in the process shows how groundless manycontemporary appeals to human rights turn out to be.Manent denies that we can generate obligations from acondition of what Locke, Hobbes, and Rousseau call the^"state of nature,^" where human beings are absolutely free,with no obligations to others. In his view, our ever-more-imperial affirmation of human rights needs to bereintegrated into what he calls an ^"archic^" understandingof human and political existence, where law and obligationare inherent in liberty and meaningful human action.Otherwise we are bound to act thoughtlessly and in anincreasingly arbitrary or willful manner. Natural Law andHuman Rights will engage students and scholars of politics,philosophy, and religion, and will captivate sophisticatedreaders who are interested in the question of how we mightreconfigure our knowledge of, and talk with one anotherabout, politics^"--^cProvided by publisher.
