The Conceptions Of Self-Evidence In The Finnis Reconstruction Of Natural Law, Kevin P. Lee
The Conceptions Of Self-Evidence In The Finnis Reconstruction Of Natural Law, Kevin P. Lee
St. Mary's Law Journal
Finnis claims that his theory proceeds from seven basic principles of practical reason that are self-evidently true. While much has been written about the claim of self-evidence, this article considers it in relation to the rigorous claims of logic and mathematics. It argues that when considered in this light, Finnis equivocates in his use of the concept of self-evidence between the realist Thomistic conception and a purely formal, modern symbolic conception. Given his respect for the modern positivist separation of fact and value, the realism of the Thomistic conception cannot be the foundation for the natural law as Finnis would …

Peter J. Aschenbrenner
OCL directs attention to the logics and feasibilities anterior to the crafting of constitutional text. The Federalist Papers is thoroughly committed to exploring these logics – spatial, discrete and predicate – insofar as the format (two thousand word articles in newspapers, offering comment on issues-of-the-day, especially ratification of the proposed Philadelphia constitution) will permit. The ninety-three ‘hits’ on ‘science,’ ‘logic,’ ‘math-,’ ‘abstract,’ ‘theory,’ and so forth receive due attention.

Slavery Rhetoric And The Abortion Debate, Debora Threedy
Slavery Rhetoric And The Abortion Debate, Debora Threedy
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
There are many things that could be, and have been, said about the question of abortion. This article focuses on the rhetoric of the abortion debate. Specifically, I discuss how both sides of the abortion debate have appropriated the image of the slave and used that image as a rhetorical tool, a metaphor, in making legal arguments. Further, I examine the effectiveness of this metaphor as a rhetorical tool. Finally, I question the purposes behind this appropriation, and whether it reflects a lack of sensitivity to the racial content of the appropriated image.

Unlike conventional moral standards and other social rules, laws can be deliberately laid down and changed by specified procedures. It therefore seems reasonable to think of laws as issuing from or adopted by lawmakers who are ordinary human beings. Since laws tell us what must or must not be done, and since there is some temptation to understand all laws on the same pattern, it is natural to think of them as either commands or prohibitions. This is indeed a traditional view.
