It is ideal for use in ethics and logic classes as a model of critical reasoning, although its principal audience will no doubt be philosophers and theologians interested in natural law ethics. Hittinger has in my opinion decisively crushed the Grisez-Finnis ‘revolution.’ I hope he will elaborate on another occasion the very suggestive remarks, to be found at the close of the book, about the grounds of natural law.” —\u003ci\u003eInternational Philosophical Quarterly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Russell Hittinger has written a valuable critique of the theory of practical reason advanced by Germain Grisez and John Finnis.
