Very clear and useful discussion of unjust laws and what Aquinas actually has to say about them.

Will have to go over obligation again. Wish there was a flowchart or something akin.

Very interesting chapter on rights - but I think rights talk has proved to be more pernicious than Finnis anticipated, even if rights are not conceptually flaws.

The different aspects of practical reason are well-articulated. Fidelity to conscience feels like it ought to stand above the other aspects, but conscience can only operate properly when the other aspects are given their proper place, so I think Finnis’ placement of conscience is correct.

Extremely clarifying. Great exposition of how natural law theory has been misconceived or misrepresented by others.
