Becoming a natural lawyer

The list author says:
	"McInerny's introduction to Aquinas' theory of human action is the perfect starting place to familiarise oneself with the traditional natural law theory.  Read the second part after studying Finnis."

The list author says:
	"After reading McInerny, it may prove useful to turn to Kossel's essay on human and natural law and then to Thomas Hibbs' overview over 20th century debates in moral theology."

The list author says:
	"Then try to get hold of a copy of Lottin's Morale fondamentale.  The book in my list is only a discussion of Lottin's work."

The list author says:
	"Now it is time to read a clear exposition of the school commonly referred to as the New Natural Law school. After reading Finnis, turn to the second part of McInerny."

The list author says:
	"Next you should familiarise yourself with the virtue of prudence and its relation to natural law. I don't agree with Nelson, but his book remains an excellent introduction."

The list author says:
	"From prudence you should turn to charity.  Gillemann is a modern classic."

The list author says:
	"Even if you can't afford it, you will want to have access to this edition of the Summa Theologiae when reading the above books."

The list author says:
	"Aquinas was not the only author who wrote illuminatingly about natural law.  Rommen provides an excellent exposition of Suarez' theory of natural law."

The list author says:
	"If you read Italian, I cannot recommend too highly the work of Reginaldo Pizzorni.  His most recent book is Diritto, Etica e Religione."

The list author says:
	"Also highly recommended: McInerny's article Natural Law and Virtue in this volume."

The list author says:
	"A subtle, recent treatment of Aquinas, Suarez and Grotius."

The list author says:
	"Impressively systematic reading of Aquinas, though mixing in Finnis' own view of practical reasoning.  Fails to give the virtues their proper place in Aquinas' thought."
