Abstract

THE CASE FOR NATURAL LAW RE-EXAMINED A. P. d'Entreves THE LECTURES printed in the following pages were delivered at the Uni- versity of Notre Dame on October 9 and 10, 1954, at the invitation of the President and the Dean of the Law School. Their purpose was to initiate a discussion about the use and scope of a journal of natural law studies. That they should appear in the first issue of this journal is a generous reward and a great honor for the lecturer. I have made no substantial alteration of the text: I wish my talks to read as they were given. The introductory lecture is omitted at my request. A very few words will suffice to explain my line of approach and my intentions. The case for natural law is not an easy one to put clearly and convinc- ingly. It must needs appear in a different light according to the angle in time or in place from which it is looked at. In England, for a number of reasons, that case has never been a popular one.
