Description

Explore fundamental questions about the laws of nature with this collection of twelve original essays from leading international philosophers. This Oxford University Press volume examines the origins of the concept of natural law, its theological and metaphysical foundations, and the role of contingency within physical principles. The book addresses whether exceptions to natural laws are possible, whether lawhood can be analysed reductively, or if it remains a primitive concept. These essays build upon centuries of philosophical debate since the invention of natural law concepts in the seventeenth century, offering contemporary perspectives on the intuitions and assumptions that have shaped our understanding of how nature operates and what it means for something to be a fundamental law.
