I haven't read his most recent work: First Grace: Rediscovering Natural Law in a Post-Christian world. This collection of essays: The Tradition of Natural Law: A Philosopher's Reflections is good. I didn't see on Amazon another essay collection: "Natural Law Theory" where Hittinger has some good work. I would be surprised if its gone out of print. I've read several journal pieces from him. I think I still have notes from some symposia I attended with him back in the day.

Also, strangely enough, I would say that natural law is one of the areas where secular and religious metaphysics can be reconciled. An American Catholic theocon and a secular Euro liberal could find agreement.
Maybe, but that concord is not apparent.


Here's a very interesting article.
Thank you. I liked the article.
