Book Synopsis
Does the concept of natural rights have the natural law as its foundation or are the two ideas, as Leo Strauss argued, profoundly incompatible? The author addresses this controversy, offering an entirely new account of natural morality that compellingly unites the concepts of natural law and natural rights.

Trade Review
"The Foundations of Natural Morality represents an ambitious and original effort to reformulate the contemporary debate about natural law and natural rights. Seagrave employs historical and textual analysis, as well as sophisticated theoretical reconstruction, to demonstrate the ultimate compatibility of the classical natural law and the early modern natural rights traditions generally seen as constituting distinct-even mutually hostile-approaches to questions of morality and justice. In doing so, he makes a valuable contribution to political theory." (Lee Ward, University of Regina)"
