Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development of Natural Law and its broader humanist concepts from their ancient origins, through their development during the Middle Ages, up until the 18th century. The author places special emphasis on Natural Law's role as a cornerstone of modern democratic thought and its influence on political theories and the evolution of individual liberty in Europe and America. The book examines how ancient Greek ideas about Natural Law as a concept distinct from positive laws were adopted by Roman law during the Middle Ages, and how this, in turn, influenced the thought of the Christian Church. It also explores the profound effect Natural Law had on 18th-century political philosophy, notably on the Declaration of the Rights of Man during the French Revolution. This concept remains at the heart of conversations about human rights and the relationship between the individual and the state to this day.
