Natural Law “Externalism” v. Natural Law as “Moral Aspiration”
I have one more paper that I’ve corrected and revised
(including the title!): Natural Law “Externalism” v. Natural Law as “Moral
Aspiration.” It is not about the well-worn legal positivist v. natural law
debate but rather discusses how best to characterize natural law theory with
regard to its intrinsic relation to
justice and morality. The paper is in response to a contrary characterization
of the natural law tradition made by Professor Thom Brooks so as to contrast
that tradition with Hegel’s “internalist” theory of natural law. I argue that
the natural law tradition is not properly described as “externalist” but is in
fact “internalist,” even if not in the sense Brooks ascribes to Hegel. The
revised paper is now available on my Academia page here.
