The Principles Of Natural Law: In Which The True Systems Of Morality And Civil Government Are Established (1752)

By Jean Jacques Burlamaqui

Book Overview

The Principles of Natural Law is a philosophical treatise written by Jean Jacques Burlamaqui in 1752. The book sets out to establish the true systems of morality and civil government by exploring the principles of natural law. Burlamaqui argues that these principles are based on reason and are inherent in human nature, and that they provide a foundation for just and equitable societies. He examines the nature of human rights, the role of government in protecting those rights, and the limits of governmental power. The book also explores the relationship between law and morality, and the importance of virtue in society. Burlamaqui's work was influential in shaping the Enlightenment era's ideas on natural law and the role of government in society. The Principles of Natural Law remains a significant contribution to the field of political philosophy and is still studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
