Book Description
Excerpt from Natural Law in the Business World IN presenting this little volume to the public, the writer makes no claim to any new dis coveries, or original theories in the domain of Political Economy; -nor has he any ambition to enter into philosophical or theoretical specula tions. An honest effort to trace out the work ing and application of Natural Law, as it runs through the economic and social fabric, in a plain and simple; though it is hoped practical manner; is all that is attempted. Economic works by theorists and special ists have been multiplied to such an extent, that it seems almost presumptuous for one who has had only a practical business training to venture into a field already so thoroughly ex plored. It is, however, the belief of the writer, that in a great majority of recent works, the sure, continuous, and unerring operation of certain fixed principles, and their resultant effects, has been greatly overlooked or ignored, and sentimental and impractical theories have been substituted for them, 'such a variety of new plans, radical changes, and reforms have been proposed, in order to improve existing conditions, that the world must be re-made in order to give them an op portunity to be tried.

Book Description
The theory of natural law grounds human laws in the universal truths of God’s creation. Until very recently, lawyers in the Western tradition studied natural law as part of their training, and the task of the judicial system was to put its tenets into concrete form, building an edifice of positive law on natural law’s foundations. Although much has been written about natural law in theory, surprisingly little has been said about how it has shaped legal practice. Natural Law in Court asks how lawyers and judges made and interpreted natural law arguments in England, Europe, and the United States, from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the American Civil War. R. H. Helmholz sees a remarkable consistency in how English, Continental, and early American jurisprudence understood and applied natural law in cases ranging from family law and inheritance to criminal and commercial law. Despite differences in their judicial systems, natural law was treated across the board as the source of positive law, not its rival. The idea that no person should be condemned without a day in court, or that penalties should be proportional to the crime committed, or that self-preservation confers the right to protect oneself against attacks are valuable legal rules that originate in natural law. From a historical perspective, Helmholz concludes, natural law has advanced the cause of justice.

Book Description
The notion of “natural law” has repeatedly furnished human beings with a shared grammar in times of moral and cultural crisis. Stoic natural law, for example, emerged precisely when the Ancient World lost the Greek polis, which had been the point of reference for Plato's and Aristotle's political philosophy. In key moments such as this, natural law has enabled moral and legal dialogue between peoples and traditions holding apparently clashing world-views. This volume revisits some of these key moments in intellectual and social history, partly with an eye to extracting valuable lessons for ideological conflicts in the present and perhaps near future. The contributions to this volume discuss both historical and contemporary schools of natural law. Topics on historical schools of natural law include: how Aristotelian theory of rules paved the way for the birth of the idea of "natural law"; the idea's first mature account in Cicero's work; the tension between two rival meanings of “man’s rational nature” in Aquinas’ natural law theory; and the scope of Kant’s allusions to “natural law”. Topics on contemporary natural law schools include: John Finnis's and Germain Grisez's “new natural law theory”; natural law theories in a "broader" sense, such as Adolf Reinach’s legal phenomenology; Ortega y Gasset’s and Scheler’s “ethical perspectivism”; the natural law response to Kelsen’s conflation of democracy and moral relativism; natural law's role in 20th century international law doctrine; Ronald Dworkin’s understanding of law as “a branch of political morality”; and Alasdair Macintyre’s "virtue"-based approach to natural law.​

Book Description
An introduction to Natural Law Gregory LaPoint, a business owner, professor, and father, was born in Los Angeles and raised in Southern California. He has lived most of his adult life in Colorado where his journey to explore the natural law has continued. He graduated from Regis College with a bachelors degree in philosophy, received a graduate certificate in civics from the University of San Diego, received his first masters degree in theology, awarded summa cum laude, from Holy Apostles College and Seminary, and a second masters degree from Holy Apostles in philosophy, cum laude, and he is presently a doctoral candidate. The foundation for natural law in his life began as young man. An awakening to common sense realism started with early family experiences and continued through life lessons. Jack Peiffer, his maternal grandfather, had nurtured in him a pragmatic orientation with such advice as "keep your nose to the grindstone," and instilled an abiding quest for this common sense realism. Fortuitously, he spent his formative years at a boarding school called St. Michaels Preparatory High School in Silverado, California operated by the Norbertine Fathers of St. Michaels Abbey. His instructors impressed upon him an appreciation for living according to the natural law. It was at St Michaels that the dedication to natural law was instilled into the fabric of his disposition. Later, he was formally introduced to the subject of philosophy. With this early training, business experience, education and equipped with the tools of inferential realism, Gregory eventually committed his life and resources to advance the natural law. His credentials for writing this book on natural law have emerged primarily from a steadfast commitment to observation and reasoning that are based in metaphysical realism. Throughout his thirty years as a business owner, Gregory consistently applied natural law to his business practices and life activities. He studied natural law both formally and informally. He believes that it is not necessary to have a college degree, nor be a college professor, nor be an author to understand and practice natural law. While he does consider his advanced graduate degrees in both philosophy and theology positive sources of information, these degrees remain of secondary importance. Essentially it is the metaphysics of realism combined with systematic inquiry that leads to the further understanding of natural law, as well as to the adversaries of natural law. It has become evident to him that learning and growing in knowledge of natural law is the responsibility of every human being wherever they may reside or whatever their profession or calling might be. He recognizes natural law to be the quintessential and indispensable governing human science for all cultures and human institutions. Gregory LaPoint founded the Center for Natural Law to raise awareness of natural law ethics in our world today. He lives in Denver, Colorado, where his daughter also lives. When he is not teaching or giving natural law seminars, he enjoys golfing and reading.
