In response to a 2004 request from Cardinal Josef Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) to address issues concerning finding a common morality for humankind founded on the precepts of natural law, Cunningham (theology, U. of Notre Dame) and colleagues present this collection of essays addressing such issues from the disciplinary perspectives of theology, philosophy, law, and political science. The text begins with an essay from moral and political philosopher Alisdair MacIntyre presenting a Thomist account of natural law, contrasting it with the utilitarian account of Jeremy Bentham, and arguing for the superiority of the Thomist view. Eight essays then respond to Macintyre's essays from their own disciplinary perspectives and then MacIntyre's counter-response concludes the book.
