""Natural Law and Positive Law: A Dissertation"" by Raymond F. Begin is a comprehensive study of the two main legal theories that have shaped the Western legal tradition. The book explores the historical development and philosophical foundations of natural law and positive law, and their implications for contemporary legal theory and practice.The author begins by defining natural law as a set of universal principles that are inherent in human nature and can be discovered through reason and observation. He then contrasts this with positive law, which is created by human beings and enforced by the state. The book examines the origins of natural law in ancient Greece and Rome, its development in Christian theology, and its influence on modern legal thought.The author also analyzes the rise of positive law in the modern era, tracing its roots to the Enlightenment and the emergence of the modern nation-state. He examines the different approaches to positive law, including legal positivism, legal realism, and critical legal studies.Throughout the book, the author explores the tensions and contradictions between natural law and positive law, and the challenges that arise when these two legal theories are applied in practice. He also considers the implications of these theories for contemporary legal debates, including issues related to human rights, constitutional law, and the role of the judiciary.""Natural Law and Positive Law: A Dissertation"" is an essential resource for anyone interested in legal theory, philosophy, or history.
