Publisher's Synopsis
The Law of Nature is a philosophical work by C.F. Volney, originally published in French in 1793. The book explores the concept of natural law, arguing that all human beings possess certain inherent rights and freedoms that are derived from nature rather than from any particular government or society. Volney also examines the relationship between nature and society, arguing that the natural order is often disrupted by human institutions and customs. The book is divided into three parts, with the first exploring the principles of natural law, the second examining the ways in which human institutions violate those principles, and the third proposing a series of reforms that would bring human society into better alignment with the natural order. The Law of Nature is considered an important work of Enlightenment philosophy, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.THIS 40 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Ruins or Meditations on the Revolutions of Empires and the Law of Nature, by C.
