Still proving to be the best natural law book I’ve read. I have no serious objections to any of McCall’s claims or positions.
But I also recognize that this is the densest treatment of NL that I’ve read, incorporating Aristotelian philosophy and the following legal traditions at a level far above my pay grade—so, if the devil is in the details, I’m not in the best position to sus him out.

Still going strong; ‘tis excellent. I’m enjoying collecting a bunch of citations for further reading, too. As the book goes on, McCall gradually shifts from painstakingly describing the natural law tradition as we receive it to offering his own prescriptions for how and why things matter in different contexts — both parts are equally fruitful for me.
